Hey Christoph, Just a heads up: your commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37 is suspected as the first bad commit in a bisect performed to track down the cause of DM crashes reported in this BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202449 I've yet to look closely at _why_ this commit but figured I'd share since this appears to be a 4.0-rcX regression.
