    dm space map metadata: fix extending the space map · 7e664b3d
    Joe Thornber authored
    When extending a metadata space map we should do the first commit whilst
    still in bootstrap mode -- a mode where all blocks get allocated in the
    new area.
    
    That way the commit overhead is allocated from the newly added space.
    Otherwise we risk running out of space.
    
    With this fix, and the previous commit "dm space map common: make sure
    new space is used during extend", the following device mapper testsuite
    test passes:
     dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /resize_metadata_no_io/
