dm: fix ioctl retry termination with signal
dm-mpath retries ioctl, when no path is readily available and the device is configured to queue I/O in such a case. If you want to stop the retry before multipathd decides to turn off queueing mode, you could send signal for the process to exit from the loop. However the check of fatal signal has not carried along when commit 6c182cd8 ("dm mpath: fix ioctl deadlock when no paths") moved the loop from dm-mpath to dm core. As a result, we can't terminate such a process in the retry loop. Easy reproducer of the situation is: # dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0' # dmsetup message mp 0 'queue_if_no_path' # sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp then you should be able to terminate sg_inq by pressing Ctrl+C.
