From 40bea431274c247425e7f5970d796ff7b37a2b22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 20:40:25 +0100 Subject: dm stripe: expose correct io hints Set sensible I/O hints for striped DM devices in the topology infrastructure added for 2.6.31 for userspace tools to obtain via sysfs. Add .io_hints to 'struct target_type' to allow the I/O hints portion (io_min and io_opt) of the 'struct queue_limits' to be set by each target and implement this for dm-stripe.

This identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere, since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs. Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases, a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the "inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued, the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed via a device-mapper 'clear' command.) The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped out during the exchange. The solution is to create a locally unique identifier, 'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not universally safe, but it does not need to be, since create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.
