commit f6c367585d0d851349d3a9e607c43e5bea993fa1 upstream. Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is a bug. It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was meant to notify about. Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the DM event is being issued about. This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the thin-pool's state.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
