This set of patches culminates in providing layered write functionality for rbd clone images. Until the feature bits get enabled, most of this code is not yet activated. But it has been tested and it's ready for review. The feature will be enabled soon, after a few more things get cleaned up to prepare for it. -Alex [PATCH] libceph: fix two messenger bugs Two bugs, two improvements. [PATCH] libceph: support pages for class request data This just defines a function that allows a page array to be specified for the data to be written by an object class method. [PATCH 1/4] rbd: define separate read and write format funcs [PATCH 2/4] rbd: encapsulate submission of image object requests [PATCH 3/4] rbd: define zero_pages() [PATCH 4/4] rbd: support page array image requests The first two of these are just cleanups. The second two add some functionality to allow image requests to use page arrays for their object data. [PATCH 1/2] rbd: implement full object parent reads [PATCH 2/2] rbd: issue a copyup for layered writes These last two finally implement the layered copyup functionality. The first is sort of a half step, to break up the review into smaller pieces. -- 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
