[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: fix inflight IO check

[Jens Axboe]

After switching to percpu inflight counters, the inflight check
is totally buggy. It's perfectly valid for some counters to be
non-zero while having a total inflight IO count of 0, that's how
these kinds of counters work (inc on one CPU, dec on another).
Fix the md_in_flight() check to sum all counters before returning
a false positive, potentially.

While at it, remove the inflight read for IO completion. We don't
need it, just wake anyone that's waiting for the IO count to drop
to zero. The caller needs to re-check that value anyway when woken,
which it does.

Fixes: 6f75723190d8 ("dm: remove the pending IO accounting")
