Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
