Hmm ... really? At least Martin Petersen and I consider device mapper
support essential. How about starting from Mikulas' patch series that
supports the device mapper? See also
https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.LRH.2.02.2108171630120.30363@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/


When we add a new REQ_OP_XXX we need to make sure it will work with
device mapper, so I agree with Bart and Martin.

Starting with Mikulas patches is a right direction as of now..


Thanks for the pointers. We are looking into Mikulas' patch - I agree
that it is a good start.

What do you think about joining the call to talk very specific next
steps to get a patchset that we can start reviewing in detail.

I can do that.

Thanks. I will wait until Chaitanya's reply on his questions. We will
start suggesting some dates then.


I think at this point we need to at least decide on having a first call
focused on how to proceed forward with Mikulas approach  ...

Javier, can you please organize a call with people you listed in this
thread earlier ?

Also Keith presented his work on a simple zone-based remapping block device, which included an in-kernel copy offload facility. Idea is to lift that as a standalone patch such that we can use it a fallback (ie software) implementation if no other copy offload mechanism is available.

Cheers,

Hannes
