dm bufio: fix some cases where the code sleeps with spinlock held
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit b32d458 ("dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag")
added a "NO_SLEEP" mode, it replaces a mutex with a spinlock, and it
is only usable when the device is in read-only mode (because the write
path may be sleeping while holding the dm_bufio_client lock).

However, there are still two points where the code could sleep even in
read-only mode. One is in __get_unclaimed_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean.
The other is in __try_evict_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean. These functions
will call __make_buffer_clean which sleeps if the buffer is being read.

Fix these cases so that if c->no_sleep is set __make_buffer_clean
will not be called and the buffer will be skipped instead.
