dm thin: stay in out-of-data-space mode once no_space_timeout expires
This fixes an issue where running out of data space would cause the thin-pool's metadata to become read-only. There was no reason to make metadata read-only -- calling set_pool_mode() with PM_READ_ONLY was a misguided way to error all queued and future write IOs. We can accomplish the same by degrading from PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE to PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE with error_if_no_space enabled. Otherwise, the use of PM_READ_ONLY could cause a race where commit() was started before the PM_READ_ONLY transition but dm_pool_commit_metadata() would go on to fail because the block manager had transitioned to read-only. The return of -EPERM from dm_pool_commit_metadata(), due to attempting to commit while in read-only mode, caused the thin-pool to set 'needs_check' because a metadata_operation_failed(). This needless cascade of failures makes life for users more difficult than needed. Reported-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
