dm persistent data: add threshold callback to space map

2013-05-10T13:37:20Z

Add a threshold callback function to the persistent data space map interface for a subsequent patch to use. dm-thin and dm-cache are interested in knowing when they're getting low on metadata or data blocks. This patch introduces a new method for registering a callback against a threshold. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon

dm persistent data: remove debug space map checker

2012-07-27T14:07:58Z

Remove debug space map checker from dm persistent data. The space map checker is a wrapper for other space maps that double checks the reference counts are correct. It holds all these reference counts in memory rather than on disk, so uses a lot of memory and is thus restricted to small pools. As yet, this checker hasn't found any issues, but has caused a few of its own due to people turning it on by default with larger pools. Removing.

dm persistent data: handle space map checker creation failure

2012-07-03T11:55:35Z

If CONFIG_DM_DEBUG_SPACE_MAPS is enabled and dm_sm_checker_create() fails, dm_tm_create_internal() would still return success even though it cleaned up all resources it was supposed to have created. This will lead to a kernel crash: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC ...

drivers/md: change module.h -> export.h in persistent-data/dm-*

2011-11-07T18:29:09Z

For the files which are not themselves modular, we can change them to include only the smaller export.h since all they are doing is looking for EXPORT_SYMBOL. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

dm: add persistent data library

2011-10-31T20:19:11Z

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets. It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an upcoming hierarchical storage target.
