dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to on-disk superblock
policy_hint_size starts as 0 during __write_initial_superblock(). It isn't until the policy is loaded that policy_hint_size is set in-core (cmd->policy_hint_size). But it never got recorded in the on-disk superblock because __commit_transaction() didn't deal with transfering the in-core cmd->policy_hint_size to the on-disk superblock. The in-core cmd->policy_hint_size gets initialized by metadata_open()'s __begin_transaction_flags() which re-reads all superblock fields. Because the superblock's policy_hint_size was never properly stored, when the cache was created, hints_array_available() would always return false when re-activating a previously created cache. This means __load_mappings() always considered the hints invalid and never made use of the hints (these hints served to optimize). Another detremental side-effect of this oversight is the cache_check utility would fail with: "invalid hint width: 0" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
