dm cache: fix a lock-inversion (2014-04-04 14:53:05 -0400)
Please pull, thanks.
Mike
----------------------------------------------------------------
. Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size >
cache_block_size
. Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache
. Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
error path
. Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
dm-era).
. Various small cleanups in the DM core
. Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
'era'. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software,
and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
. Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the dm-thin-pool
by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a per-thin device list
and then sorting that list using an rb_tree. The subsequent read
throughput of the data written via multiple threads improved by ~70%.
. Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
internally.
