>
> Commit adc0daad366b62ca1bce3e2958a40b0b71a8b8b3 ("dm: report suspended
> device during destroy") broke integrity recalculation.
>
> The problem is dm_suspended() returns true not only during suspend,
> but also during resume. So this race condition could occur:
> 1. dm_integrity_resume calls queue_work(ic->recalc_wq, &ic->recalc_work)
> 2. integrity_recalc (&ic->recalc_work) preempts the current thread
> 3. integrity_recalc calls if (unlikely(dm_suspended(ic->ti))) goto unlock_ret;
> 4. integrity_recalc exits and no recalculating is done.
>
> To fix this race condition, add a function dm_post_suspending that is
> only true during the postsuspend phase and use it instead of
> dm_suspended().
