dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests (2014-01-21 23:46:27 -0500)
----------------------------------------------------------------
A set of device-mapper changes for 3.14.
A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's
handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space. A new
'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to error IOs rather
than queue them when either the data or metadata space is exhausted.
Additional fixes/features include:
- a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
- a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to
be released before destroying the device
- old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation
- new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted
to the cache (fast) device
- improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
userspace flush and mark requests
