[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/3] offload bios to a thread

[Mikulas Patocka]

Hi

Here I'm sending three patches to fix the deadlocks in snapshot and 
snapshot-merge.

The first patch fixes the deadlock, the following 2 patches introduce a 
timer, so that bios are not offloaded immediatelly, they are offloaded 
after a specified timeout, because immediate offloading can change order 
of bios and it could theoretically produce regressions. I don't know if 
these regressions really exist or not.

If there is some way to push the patches upstream, try it.
