[lvm-devel] [RFC] WARNING: dev_open(xxx) called while suspended

[Takahiro Yasui]

Hi,

I'm testing 'mirrored' log patch set and I'm annoyed with a following
warning message.
  WARNING: dev_open(xxx) called while suspended
Can I suppress it by lvm configuration or something?

This message is displayed whenever log type is switched.

# lvconvert -m1 --mirrorlog core vg00/lv00
  WARNING: dev_open(/dev/sdc) called while suspended
  WARNING: dev_open(/dev/sdf) called while suspended
  Logical volume lv00 converted.

# lvconvert -m1 --mirrorlog disk vg00/lv00
  WARNING: dev_open(/dev/sdf) called while suspended
  Logical volume lv00 converted.

I bisected and found that this WARNING was introduced by the following
patch, especially adding remote_commit_cached_metadata() function.

I appreciate your comments.

Thanks,
