      dm: add bufio · 95d402f0
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
      holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.
      
      We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
      * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
      * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks
      
      Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
      available memory.  Usage can be viewed and changed in
      /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .
      
      The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.
