From 5c50c9b89f1179237e0c0afb399432924058e756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sterba Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:12:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: make subvol creation/deletion killable in the early stages The subvolume ioctls block on the parent directory mutex that can be held by other concurrent snapshot activity for a long time. Give the user at least some chance to get out of this situation by allowing to send a kill signal.
