yes, i did a quick and dirty version just to get on something to talk 
over. I will fix the inverted logic and the number. See bellow for 
comments on the init.

	Yep, it must be like ploop_clone_and_map.

> [LIU]:  This may not work, because normally a ploop device is created first before being attached to SCST, which means 'ploop_ctr' is called before QUEUE_FLAG_STANDBY_EN can be set.  We need to put " static_key_enable(&ploop_standby_check))" somewhere else.

I am not sure i undestand that correctly but dm-ploop maps the ploop 
device over existing device. It first opens the files that are on the 
existing device then passes the fds to dm-ploop. To do this the target 
must be up and running. device mapper setups the table before calling 
the ploop ctr. You already checked the queue lifecycle.
Is there any other precodition for the target to set the EN flag?


There is one more alternative to pass the stanby enable flag enable from 
userspace .

yes, definitely
