I am requesting comments on the next set of patches. They are the next batch in a series designed to create/reshape the exception store API (currently used by snapshots). Since this is the second batch, the following patches are prerequisites: 1) dm-exception-store-introduce-registry.patch 2) dm-exception-store-move-dm_target-pointer.patch 3) dm-exception-store-move-chunk_fields.patch 4) dm-exception-store-move-cow-pointer.patch 5) dm-snapshot-remove-dm_snap-header-use.patch 6) dm-snapshot-remove-dm_snap-header.patch 7) dm-snapshot-use-DMEMIT-macro-for-status.patch 8) dm-snapshot-move-ctr-parsing-to-exception-store.patch 9) dm-snapshot-move-status-to-exception-store.patch 10) dm-exception-store-generalize-table-args.patch 11) dm-snapshot-new-ctr-table-format.patch 12) dm-snapshot-cleanup.patch 13) dm-snap-minor-fix.patch (the one I just sent but didn't explicitly name) The patches to follow I've preliminarily named: 1) dm-snap-rename-dm_snap_exception.patch 2) dm-snap-rename-exception_table.patch 3) dm-snap-consolidate-insert_exception.patch 4) dm-snap-rename-exception-functions.patch 5) dm-snap-exception_table-ptrs.patch 6) dm-snap-exception-arg-changes.patch 7) dm-snap-code-move.patch 8) dm-snap-persistent-minor-code-cleanup.patch 9) dm-exception-store-add-resume-to-API.patch 10) dm-exception-stores-populate-cache-on-commit.patch 11) dm-exception-store-add-lookup-to-API.patch 12) dm-snap-remove-completed-exception-cache.patch 13) dm-snap-possible-code-optimization.patch 14) dm-exception-store-remove-read_metadata-from-API.patch 15) dm-exception-store-add-suspend-to-API.patch 16) dm-exception-store-rename-drop_snapshot.patch 17) dm-exception-store-clusterized-type.patch These patches are designed to make a useful interface for the next generation of exception store implementations - including "shared" and "cluster-aware" types. brassow -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
