This patch adds a accessor function that allows determining if a mapped_device is in the suspended state and then adds this check to the multipath targets multipath_message function. As previously described in the email at the archive url provided below the target_message ioctl can call into the target after suspend completes. This can cause new work to be queued and actions to be taken by the target that should be prevented in the suspended state. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.devel/10486 --- Mike Anderson (2): dm: Add accessor dm_table_md_suspended dm: Add suspended check to multipath_message drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 3 +++ drivers/md/dm-table.c | 6 ++++++ include/linux/device-mapper.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) -- -andmike Michael Anderson <andmike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
