[PATCH 3.2 101/221] dm io: deal with wandering queue limits when handling REQ_DISCARD and REQ_WRITE_SAME

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 21:34:28 EST


3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e5db29806b99ce2b2640d2e4d4fcb983cea115c5 upstream.

Since it's possible for the discard and write same queue limits to
change while the upper level command is being sliced and diced, fix up
both of them (a) to reject IO if the special command is unsupported at
the start of the function and (b) read the limits once and let the
commands error out on their own if the status happens to change.
