The following two patches allow the dm-log-userspace module to have a two-way communication when DM_ULOG_CTR is issued. The outbound (kernel -> userspace) msg sends the CTR information necessary to build the log device. The new inbound (userspace -> kernel) msg sends the log device name to the kernel so the kernel can call 'dm_get_device' on it. This allows the necessary device dependencies to be built. brassow -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
