with some bug fixes, ported to the current kernel.
This patch makes it possible to use the SCSI XCOPY command.
We create a bio that has
The block layer creates two bios for each copy operation. The bios travel
independently through the storage stack and they are paired at the block
device.
There is a theoretical problem with this - the block device stack only
guarantees forward progress for a single bio. When two bios are sent,
This patch changes blkdev_issue_copy so that it returns the number of
copied sectors in the variable copied.
The kernel makes best effort to copy as much data as possible, but because
of device mapper mapping, it may be possible that copying fails at some
stage. If we just returned the error
We use merge_bvec_fn to make sure that copies do not split internal
boundaries of device mapper devices.
There is no possibility to split a copy bio (splitting would complicate
the design significantly), so we must use merge_bvec_fn to make sure that
the bios have appropriate size for the device
block copy: use asynchronous notification
In dm-snapshot target there may be large number of copy requests in
progress. If every pending copy request consumed a process context, it
would put too much load on the system.
To avoid this load, we need asynchronous notification when copy finishes -

This patch implements basic copy support for device mapper core.
Individual targets can enable copy support by setting ti-copy_supported.

copy.

This patch adds copy offload support to dm-kcopyd. If copy offload fails,
copying is performed using dm-io, just like before.
There is a module parameter copy_offload that can be set to enable or
disable this feature. It can be used to test performance of copy offload.

job-lock is only taken for a finite amount of time and the process
doesn't block while holding it, so change it from mutex to spinlock.
This change is needed for the next patch that makes it possible to call
segment_complete from an interrupt. Taking mutexes inside an interrupt is
not allowed.
We move some code to a function submit_job. It is needed for the next
patch that calls submit_job from another place.
