Contains the value 1 while the device is suspended.
Otherwise it contains 0. Read-only attribute.
Users: util-linux, device-mapper udev rules

+What: /sys/block/dm-<num>/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline
+Date: March 2015
+KernelVersion: 4.1
+Contact: dm-devel@redhat.com
+Description: Allow control over how long a request that is a
+ reasonable merge candidate can be queued on the request
+ queue. The resolution of this deadline is in
+ microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs).
+ Setting this attribute to 0 (the default) will disable
+ request-based DM's merge heuristic and associated extra
+ accounting. This attribute is not applicable to
+ bio-based DM devices so it will only ever report 0 for
+ them.
