dm snapshot: Don't sleep holding the snapshot lock
When completing a pending exception, pending_complete() waits for all conflicting reads to drain, before inserting the final, completed exception. Conflicting reads are snapshot reads redirected to the origin, because the relevant chunk is not remapped to the COW device the moment we receive the read. The completed exception must be inserted into the exception table after all conflicting reads drain to ensure snapshot reads don't return corrupted data. This is required because inserting the completed exception into the exception table signals that the relevant chunk is remapped and both origin writes and snapshot merging will now overwrite the chunk in origin. This wait is done holding the snapshot lock to ensure that pending_complete() doesn't starve if new snapshot reads keep coming for this chunk. In preparation for the next commit, where we use a spinlock instead of a mutex to protect the exception tables, we remove the need for holding the lock while waiting for conflicting reads to drain. We achieve this in two steps: 1. pending_complete() inserts the completed exception before waiting for conflicting reads to drain and removes the pending exception after all conflicting reads drain. This ensures that new snapshot reads will be redirected to the COW device, instead of the origin, and thus pending_complete() will not starve. Moreover, we use the existence of both a completed and a pending exception to signify that the COW is done but there are conflicting reads in flight. 2. In __origin_write() we check first if there is a pending exception and then if there is a completed exception. If there is a pending exception any submitted BIO is delayed on the pe->origin_bios list and DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED is returned. This ensures that neither writes to the origin nor snapshot merging can overwrite the origin chunk, until all conflicting reads drain, and thus snapshot reads will not return corrupted data. Summarizing, we now have the following possible combinations of pending and completed exceptions for a chunk, along with their meaning: A. No exceptions exist: The chunk has not been remapped yet. B. Only a pending exception exists: The chunk is currently being copied to the COW device. C. Both a pending and a completed exception exist: COW for this chunk has completed but there are snapshot reads in flight which had been redirected to the origin before the chunk was remapped. D. Only the completed exception exists: COW has been completed and there are no conflicting reads in flight.
