[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: Fix oops when clone_and_map_rq returns !DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED

[Junichi Nomura]

When stacking request-based dm on blk_mq device,
request cloning and remapping are done in a single call to
target's clone_and_map_rq(). Only when the return value is
DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED, the clone is valid and owned by dm core.

"IS_ERR(clone)" does not cover all the !DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED cases.
E.g. if underlying devices are not ready or unavailable, the
function may return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE.

Without this fix, dm core may call setup_clone() for NULL clone
and oops like this:

This patch is a minimal fix.
map_request() function could be refactored in better shape.
