commitcca2c6aebeupstream. Metadata resize shouldn't happen in the ctr. The ctr loads a temporary (inactive) table that will only become active upon resume. That is why resize should always be done in terms of resume. Otherwise a load (ctr) whose inactive table never becomes active will incorrectly resize the metadata. Also, perform the resize directly in preresume, instead of using the worker to do it. The worker might run other metadata operations, e.g., it could start digestion, before resizing the metadata. These operations will end up using the old size. This could lead to errors, like: device-mapper: era: metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset: dm_array_set_value failed device-mapper: era: process_old_eras: digest step failed, stopping digestion The reason of the above error is that the worker started the digestion of the archived writeset using the old, larger size. As a result, metadata_digest_transcribe_writeset tried to write beyond the end of the era array.

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.
