If we cannot setup a cmd because we run out of ring space or global pages release the blocks before sleeping. This prevents a deadlock where dev0 has waiting_blocks set and needs N blocks, but dev1 to devX have each allocated N / X blocks and also hit the global block limit so they went to sleep. find_free_blocks is not able to take the sleeping dev's blocks becaause their waiting_blocks is set and even if it was not the block returned by find_last_bit could equal dbi_max. The latter will probably never happen because DATA_BLOCK_BITS is so high but in the next patches DATA_BLOCK_BITS and TCMU_GLOBAL_MAX_BLOCKS will be settable so it might be lower and could happen.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
