The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended.
However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns
false.
An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc->ti)" in
writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns
zero while writecache_suspend is in progress. As is, without an
enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to
drain_workqueue still emits warnings:
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries
writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc->writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.
We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.
As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.
With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively. This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
