[PATCH v3] md: dm-init: Wait devices if it's not find on first adpet
From: Fabio Aiuto
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 13:36:38 EST
From: Michael Trimarchi <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The device driver can be deferrable and can be a race during
the dm-init early. We need to wait all the probe are really finished
in a loop as is done in do_mounts. This is was tested on kernel 5.4
but code seems was not changed since that time

Changes from v1:
- limit the loop to 10 iterations
- change variable names
- check only for -ENODEV failures
Changes from v2:
- use a limit in seconds (not in retry
number)
- add a parameter
- update docs

+Delay for waiting deferred probes of block devices
+==================================================
+
+Sometimes the late initcall starting the early creation of mapped
+devices, starts too early. A loop waiting for probing of block
+devices has been added; the default maximum delay is 1 second but
+it can be set through the following kernel command::
+
+ dm-mod.delay=<seconds>
+
+This allows the procedure to retry the creation of a mapped device
+after a short wait (5 msecs).
