The semantics of bio-based dm were changed recently in the case of suspend with "--nolockfs" but without "--noflush". Before 2.6.30, I/Os submitted before the suspend invocation were always flushed. From 2.6.30 onwards, I/Os submitted before the suspend invocation might not be flushed. (For details, see http://marc.info/?t=123994433400003&r=1&w=2) This patch brings the behaviour of request-based dm into line with bio-based dm, simplifying the code and preparing for a subsequent patch that will wait for all in_flight I/Os to complete without stopping request_queue and use dm_wait_for_completion() for it. This change in semantics simplifies the suspend code as follows: o Suspend is implemented as stopping request_queue in request-based dm, and all I/Os are queued in the request_queue even after suspend is invoked. o In the old semantics, we had to track whether I/Os were queued before or after the suspend invocation, so a special barrier-like request called 'suspend marker' was introduced. o With the new semantics, we don't need to flush any I/O so we can remove the marker and the code related to the marker handling and I/O flushing. After removing this codes, the suspend sequence is now: 1. Flush all I/Os by lock_fs() if needed. 2. Stop dispatching any I/O by stopping the request_queue. 3. Wait for all in-flight I/Os to be completed or requeued.
