Say you have several snapshots of the same origin and then you issue a write to some place in the origin for the first time. Before the device-mapper snapshot target lets the write go through to the underlying device, it needs to make a copy of the data that is about to be overwritten. Each snapshot is independent, so it makes one copy for each snapshot. __origin_write() loops through each snapshot and checks to see whether a copy is needed for that snapshot. (A copy is only needed the first time that data changes.) If a copy is needed, the code allocates a 'pending_exception' structure holding the details. It links these together for all the snapshots, then works its way through this list and submits the copying requests to the kcopyd thread by calling start_copy(). When each request is completed, the original pending_exception structure gets freed in pending_complete(). If you're very unlucky, this structure can get freed *before* the submission process has finished walking the list. This patch: 1) Creates a new temporary list pe_queue to hold the pending exception structures; 2) Does all the bookkeeping up-front, then walks through the new list safely and calls start_copy() for each pending_exception that needed it; 3) Avoids attempting to add pe->siblings to the list if it's already connected. [NB This does not fix all the races in this code. More patches will follow.] Signed-off-by: NAlasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool() rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30 lines of code and increasing readability.

Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when the table is created instead of when the device is resumed. Writes to the origin device don't trigger exceptions until each snapshot table becomes active when resume() is called on each snapshot. If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update to lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
