Otherwise, we might end up with data races on the allocated blocks\ncounter, or even use-after-free issues with internal data structures\nwhen doing concurrent writes.\n\nNote that the existing FIXME in smq_invalidate_mapping() doesn't affect\npassthrough mode since migration tasks don't exist there, but would need\nattention if supporting fast device shrinking via suspend/resume without\ntarget reloading.\n\nReproduce steps:\n\n1. Create a cache device consisting of 1024 cache entries\n\ndmsetup create cmeta --table \"0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0\"\ndmsetup create cdata --table \"0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192\"\ndmsetup create corig --table \"0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144\"\ndd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct\ndmsetup create cache --table \"0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \\\n/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0\"\n\n2. Populate the cache, and record the number of cached blocks\n\nfio --name=populate --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \\\n--size=64m --direct=1\nnr_cached=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{split($7, a, \"/\"); print a[1]}')\n\n3. Reload the cache into passthrough mode\n\ndmsetup suspend cache\ndmsetup reload cache --table \"0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \\\n/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 passthrough smq 0\"\ndmsetup resume cache\n\n4. Write to the passthrough cache. By setting multiple jobs with I/O\n   size equal to the cache block size, cache blocks are invalidated\n   concurrently from different workers.\n\nfio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name=test --rw=randwrite --bs=64k \\\n--direct=1 --numjobs=2 --randrepeat=0 --size=64m\n\n5. Check if demoted matches cached block count. These numbers should\n   match but may differ due to the data race.\n\nnr_demoted=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{print $12}')\necho \"$nr_cached, $nr_demoted\"","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-24T16:30:06.189+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:47:14.719+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
