The following series of patches constitute a few minor fixes and cleanups, as well as some new utility routines in the rbd code. Some of these comprise a foundation that's being used to add support for the "new" rbd image format. We've agreed to refer to the "old" and "new" formats as format 1 and 2, respectively. -Alex [PATCH 01/16] libceph: fix off-by-one bug in ceph_encode_filepath() This is a minor bug fix. [PATCH 02/16] rbd: drop a useless local variable This is a minor cleanup. [PATCH 03/16] libceph: define ceph_decode_string() [PATCH 04/16] libceph: define ceph_extract_encoded_string() [PATCH 05/16] rbd: define dup_token() Each of these defines a new utility routine. They are all going to be used in some upcoming rbd patches, but they're ready for review now. [PATCH 06/16] rbd: rename rbd_dev->block_name [PATCH 07/16] rbd: dynamically allocate object prefix These update the "block_name" field of a rbd_dev structure to be named "object_prefix", which is consistent with the way the new rbd format describes it. It also removes the unnecessary fixed limit on the length of that string. [PATCH 08/16] rbd: don't store pool name in struct rbd_dev Since a pool name can change, this patch makes sure the rbd client code doesn't save a copy of it--relying instead on the invariant pool id. The "pool" entry has been replaced by "pool_id" in /sys/bus/rbd/<N>. [PATCH 09/16] rbd: dynamically allocate image header name [PATCH 10/16] rbd: dynamically allocate image name [PATCH 11/16] rbd: dynamically allocate snapshot name These three change some more fields for in-core data structures so they aren't arbitrarily limited to a fixed size. [PATCH 12/16] rbd: use rbd_dev consistently This makes all variables representing a struct rbd_device be named "rbd_dev". [PATCH 13/16] rbd: rename some fields in struct rbd_dev [PATCH 14/16] rbd: more symbol renames [PATCH 15/16] rbd: option symbol renames These change the names of some fields and symbols so they are (hopefully) a bit more descriptive. [PATCH 16/16] rbd: kill num_reply parameters This eliminates an unused parameter that was defined in a number of functions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
