Ah I see, so this is an optimization to not save the metadata if it's not extended at all? I am failing to see a case where this will ever be reached. Unreachable might be the wrong term, because it could be reached, but meta_growth is guaranteed to be larger than 0. I don't see a case where this will be reached with the current implementation. I was originally thinking that ext could be 0 but I don't see a case where meta_growth would be non-zero but ext would be zero.

Let me dig into do_extend and see if maybe it's rounding down. That could potentially cause the behavior you're seeing.

I understand your argument. I think we can leave this in pending for now and work on simplifying it later.

Is this still relevant or can it be closed? |
It may be. I need to take another look. |

To do this better we should just save the thinpool's metadata at the start of the check method and see if it has change when the check method is about to return, thereby eliminating complexity. Necessary instead to do this in both the meta and data extend methods, rather than in the check method. |
Return true only if the method returned without error AND the amount to extend is non-zero. This is the same condition already used in extend_thin_data_device. Signed-off-by: mulhern <[email protected]>
alloc() return None if there is not enough space to satisfy the request. Signed-off-by: mulhern <[email protected]>
