Subject: dm snapshot: fix data corruption
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc6~13^2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9c6a182649f4259db704ae15a91ac820e63b0ca;p=profile%2Fcommon%2Fkernel-common.git

dm snapshot: fix data corruption

This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.

When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.

When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.

This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.

The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.
