From 4c6fff445d7aa753957856278d4d93bcad6e2c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:18:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm snapshot: lock snapshot while supplying status This patch locks the snapshot when returning status. It fixes a race when it could return an invalid number of free chunks if someone was simultaneously modifying it.
