From 3201ac452e84a8a368197d648c9b7011e061804a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Thornber Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:10:55 +0100 Subject: dm cache: the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag was not being set If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs. __commit_transaction() is responsible for setting/clearing CLEAN_SHUTDOWN (based the flags_mutator that is passed in). Fix this issue, of the cache's on-disk flags being wrong, by making sure __commit_transaction() does not reset the flags after the mutator has altered the flags in preparation for them being serialized to disk. before: sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags)); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); after: disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); sb_flags = mutator(le32_to_cpu(disk_super->flags)); disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(sb_flags); Reported-by: Bogdan Vasiliev Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c b/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c index 20cc36b..0a17d1b 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c @@ -634,10 +634,10 @@ static int __commit_transaction(struct dm_cache_metadata *cmd, disk_super = dm_block_data(sblock); + disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); if (mutator) update_flags(disk_super, mutator); - disk_super->flags = cpu_to_le32(cmd->flags); disk_super->mapping_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->root); disk_super->hint_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->hint_root); disk_super->discard_root = cpu_to_le64(cmd->discard_root); -- cgit v1.1
