dm ioctl: make bio or request based device type immutable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.

This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases.  (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)

Allowed md->type transitions:
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
  DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED

We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.

Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.
