Hi,

Is it possible to force a flush of the dirty cache in a dm-cache device?

I read in the kernel docs[*] that there is a cleaner policy, but it doesn't describe well how to use it.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to use `dmsetup message` to issue a flush after suspending the cache to ensure that all dirty data is written to origin and no more data is dirtied before resuming. Is this possible?


Thanks
Forza
