Hi Philipp,Under the new condition, if the value of susp_uuid is {true, true}, the condition returns true.-               if (create_new_uuid)
+               /* When susp_uuid goes from true to false, we just created a new
+                * current-uuid, it is pointless to do this one more time
+                */
+               if (create_new_uuid && !(susp_uuid[OLD] && !susp_uuid[NEW]))
                       set_bit(__NEW_CUR_UUID, &device->flags);if create_new_uuid is true, and susp_uuid is {true, true}, the condition is satisfied.
__NEW_CUR_UUID will be set.



best regards,
Zhengbing
