There is a window between when RBD_DEV_FLAG_REMOVING is set and when the device is removed from rbd_dev_list. During this window, we set "already" and return 0. Returning 0 from write(2) can confuse userspace tools because 0 indicates that nothing was written. In particular, "rbd unmap" will retry the write multiple times a second: 10:28:05.463299 write(4, "0", 1) = 0 10:28:05.463509 write(4, "0", 1) = 0 10:28:05.463720 write(4, "0", 1) = 0 10:28:05.463942 write(4, "0", 1) = 0 10:28:05.464155 write(4, "0", 1) = 0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Tested-by: Dongsheng Yang <dongsheng.yang@easystack.cn>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
