Hi
Device mapper already calls set_disk_ro in the do_resume function. So, the
problem here is that the value set using set_read_only will be overwritten
as soon as a new table will be loaded.
I'd like to ask why is this patch needed? Why do you want to set read-only
status using this ioctl instead of using the existing table flag?
If this is needed, we need to add another flag that is being set by
dm_blk_set_read_only, so that dm_blk_set_read_only and dm_resume won't
step over each other's changes.
