This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled dm thin metadata: fix bug when taking a metadata snapshot to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt23.

When you take a metadata snapshot the btree roots for the mapping and details tree need to have their reference counts incremented so they persist for the lifetime of the metadata snap. The roots being incremented were those currently written in the superblock, which could possibly be out of date if concurrent IO is triggering new mappings, breaking of sharing, etc. Fix this by performing a commit with the metadata lock held while taking a metadata snapshot.
