From 80c578930ce77ba8bcfb226a184b482020bdda7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 13:38:33 -0400 Subject: dm thin: add 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param Commit 85ad643b ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever") introduced a fixed 60 second timeout. Users may want to either disable or modify this timeout. Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param. Setting it to 0 will disable the timeout, resulting in IO being queued until more data space is added to the thin-pool.
