I can't imagine dm could tell which process was originating the request, 
even if it wanted to. It's all one by that point.

Seemed odd to me, too.  Another odd thing is that this kernel release, which I had not really
thought was anything all that special, actually has not one, but at least two bombshell
features.  How did I miss the loud outcry which surely occurred when read balance support in
raid1 was lost?  And why have both its return, and the new TASK_KILLABLE functionality gotten
so little notice?
