From: goggin, edward Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 04:45:44 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] device-mapper: Trigger an event when a table is deleted X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc3~80 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=269fd2a6f84828fd96218d164dace8c413fa5c03;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] device-mapper: Trigger an event when a table is deleted If anything is waiting on a device's table when the device is removed, we must first wake it up so it will release its reference. Otherwise the table's reference count will not drop to zero and the table will not get removed.
