Subject: [PATCH 1/9] dm-integrity: change the variable suspending from bool to int
Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2018 17:33:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180606153431.226306753@debian.vm> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: dm-integrity-suspending.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1348 bytes --]

The early alpha processors can't write a byte or short atomically - they
read 8 bytes, modify the byte or two bytes in registers and write back 8
bytes. The modification of the variable "suspending" may race with
modification of the variable "failed".

This patch changes suspending to an int.
