From: Mike Snitzer Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 20:35:54 +0000 (-0400) Subject: dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4bbfb80c25ba29ba4fa1d0c7ed99f3c8b32a500f;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change commit 9aec8629ec829fc9403788cd959e05dd87988bd1 upstream. The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for the life of the thin-pool. Disallow any attempt to change the thin-pool's data block size. It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool handover that the thin-pool target does during thin-pool table reload. Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K.
