To do this properly you should be introducing a variant of
dm_internal_suspend. We currently have two variants:
dm_internal_suspend_fast
dm_internal_suspend_noflush
The reason to use a dm_internal_suspend variant is this suspend was
_not_ initiated by an upper level ioctl (from userspace). It was
done internally from within the target.
You're explicitly using DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG above.. meaning you're
interested in flushing all pending IO (in the FS layered on dm-crupt, if
one exists).
But see the comment in __dm_internal_suspend() about TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
If you're OK with the dm-crypt initiated suspend being
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE then you could just introduce:
void dm_internal_suspend_uninterruptible_flush(struct mapped_device *md)
{
mutex_lock(&md->suspend_lock);
__dm_internal_suspend(md, DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG);
mutex_unlock(&md->suspend_lock);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dm_internal_suspend_uninterruptible_flush);
Otherwise, there is much more extensive DM core changes needed to
__dm_internal_suspend() and .presuspend to properly support
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
