2017-05-20dm era: save spacemap metadata root after the pre-commitSomasundaram Krishnasamy
commit 117aceb030307dcd431fdcff87ce988d3016c34a upstream. When committing era metadata to disk, it doesn't always save the latest spacemap metadata root in superblock. Due to this, metadata is getting corrupted sometimes when reopening the device. The correct order of update should be, pre-commit (shadows spacemap root), save the spacemap root (newly shadowed block) to in-core superblock and then the final commit.

2015-10-31dm persistent data: eliminate unnecessary return valuesMikulas Patocka
dm_bm_unlock and dm_tm_unlock return an integer value but the returned value is always 0. The calling code sometimes checks the return value and sometimes doesn't. Eliminate these unnecessary return values and also the checks for them. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2015-08-13block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completelyKent Overstreet
As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios, it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

2014-06-03dm era: check for a non-NULL metadata object before closing itJoe Thornber
era_ctr() may call era_destroy() before era->md is initialized so era_destory() must only close the metadata object if it is not NULL.

2014-03-27dm: take care to copy the space map roots before locking the superblockJoe Thornber
In theory copying the space map root can fail, but in practice it never does because we're careful to check what size buffer is needed. But make certain we're able to copy the space map roots before locking the superblock.

2014-03-27dm: add era targetJoe Thornber
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit counter. 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. dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.
