[dm-devel] mirroring: [patch 6 of 6] device failure tolerance

[Jonathan E Brassow <jbrassow redhat com>]

This patch changes how suspend works in dm.c (dm_suspend).  As a 
result, it breaks multipath.  It is necessary for cluster mirroring to 
ensure that a suspend happens before other nodes have a chance at 
getting an inconsistent read.
