Patch name: dm-exception-store-add-suspend-to-API.patch Add [pre|post]suspend functions to the exception store API. These will become important for future exception stores. Current exception store implementations will not alter metadata after a 'commit_exception' completes. However, future stores may do journaling or other actions. They might return from 'commit_exception' when the request hits the journal, but continue flushing after. This could be bad, because we expect them to not do anything once a 'suspend' is issued. Adding these functions to the API allows them to finish what they are doing and conform to device-mapper requirements. (The above was just one example... Cluster-aware exception stores will also require the notification of when they need to suspend their activity.)
