dm thin metadata: do not allow the data block size to change
The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for the life of the thin-pool. Disallow any attempt to change the thin-pool's data block size. It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool handover that the thin-pool target does during thin-pool table reload. Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K. Before: kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: growing the data device from 204800 to 409600 blocks After: kernel: device-mapper: thin metadata: changing the data block size (from 2048 to 1024) is not supported kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:4: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
