[dm-devel] Help with a BUG()

[Dan Smith]

Hi All,

I continue to work on my userspace-controlled CoW target for
device-mapper and have almost completed qcow support.  Recently, I've
been hitting a BUG() when I do anything more than trivial reads and
writes to my target (bug output included at the end of this mail).  It
seems as though the loopback driver (which is one of the places I'm
sending bio's to) is calling bio_put() when the usage count is already
zero.  I'm not sure what I could be doing in my target that could be
affecting the usage count on a bio.

I would _really_ appreciate it if a few people could take a look at my
kernel code (module/dm-cow.c) and see if anything pops out at them as
incorrect:

Anyone that wants to run it and see the issue for themselves can try
running the 'copyusr' test, which might work with a healthy amount of
luck. 

Thanks!
