Description Alasdair Kergon 2006-03-14 21:27:20 UTC
If dm_suspend() is cancelled, bios already added
to the deferred list need to be submitted.
Otherwise they remain 'in limbo' until there's a dm_resume().

Regression test for this bug

This test checks the bug.
You'll see "PASS" if the bug is fixed.
"FAIL" on RHEL4 U3 (2.6.9-34.EL).

I ran this test on 2.6.9-34.EL plus the proposed patch
and confirmed it's fixed.

If someone hits this bug, process doing I/O on the map will stall.
Crash will show backtrace like below:

Workaround is to suspend the problematic map again and resume it.
