Subject: [2.6.22 PATCH 24/26] dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requests
Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 20:49:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070508194909.GE24114@agk.fab.redhat.com> (raw)
From: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>
With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region
requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended.
This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror
is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync.
Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log
tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.
