Benjamin Marzinski be4addb191 dm: Fix deadlock when reloading a multipath table
Request-based devices (dm-multipath) queue I/O in blk-mq on noflush
suspends. Any queued IO will make it impossible to freeze the queue. If
a process attempts to update the queue limits while there is queued IO,
it can be get stuck holding the limits lock, while unable to freeze the
queue. If device-mapper then attempts to update the limits during a
table swap, it will deadlock trying to grab the limits lock while making
it impossible to flush the IO.

Disallow updating the queue limits during a table swap, when updating an
immutable request-based dm device (dm-multipath) during a noflush
suspend. It is userspace's responsibility to make sure that the new
table uses the same limits as the existing table if it asks for a
noflush suspend.

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 reStructuredText 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.
