I guess some of this error checking could go in map function and if bio is
not of desired type and return error right then and there.

So why are we allocating one work struct for each bio. Why not have a
work struct embedded in say dedup_config and queue incoming bios in a
list and wake up worker. And worker will go through list of bios and
process bios.
Does not look like there is a need to create one work struct for each
bio.
Please look at other targets how they have handled it.

Looks like this function has been defined in patch3 but used in patch2.
That means compilation will fail only if series is applied till patch 2.
That's not a good idea. You patch series should be bisectable.
So any definitions you want to use, introduce them first.
Seconly I had a quick look at patch 3 and this function also seems to
be doing following.
+
+ slot = get_next_slot(desc_table);
+ desc = slot_to_desc(desc_table, slot);
This is odd. This function is supposed to return the size of hash and
not do extra magic of getting next free slot and then getting to desc
associated with slot.
Break out this logic in separate function appropriately.

I think we should document these messages in documentation file and
explain what do they do.
Also looks like mark_and sweep has been replaced by garbage_collect later,
why?

So this function always returns 0. What's the point of that if block then?
