When extending a low level space map we should update nr_blocks at the start so the new space is used for the index entries. Otherwise extend can fail, e.g.: sm_metadata_extend call sequence that fails: -> sm_ll_extend -> dm_tm_new_block -> dm_sm_new_block -> sm_bootstrap_new_block => returns -ENOSPC because smm->begin == smm->ll.nr_blocks Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> 
commit 12c91a5c2d2a8e8cc40a9552313e1e7b0a2d9ee3 upstream.

When extending a low level space map we should update nr_blocks at
the start so the new space is used for the index entries.

Otherwise extend can fail, e.g.: sm_metadata_extend call sequence
that fails:
 -> sm_ll_extend
    -> dm_tm_new_block -> dm_sm_new_block -> sm_bootstrap_new_block
    => returns -ENOSPC because smm->begin == smm->ll.nr_blocks
