Hi Mike, Some small comments below.

Then, dm_set_md_type() just set the type in md->type; void dm_set_md_type(struct mapped_device *md, unsigned type) { md->type = type; } If you take the current interface, I feel it's not normal coding style; > +void dm_set_md_type(struct mapped_device *md, struct dm_table* t) Should be "dm_table *t" instead of "dm_table* t". > @@ -66,6 +66,11 @@ int dm_table_alloc_md_mempools(struct dm > void dm_table_free_md_mempools(struct dm_table *t); > struct dm_md_mempools *dm_table_get_md_mempools(struct dm_table *t); > > +void dm_lock_md_type(struct mapped_device *md); > +void dm_unlock_md_type(struct mapped_device *md); > +void dm_set_md_type(struct mapped_device *md, struct dm_table* t); The same coding style here.
