[PATCH 01/15] mm: cleancache: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to be
built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot parameter,
this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends to register to
cleancache even after filesystems were mounted. Calls to init_fs and
init_shared_fs are remembered as fake poolids but no real tmem_pools created.
On backend registration the fake poolids are mapped to real poolids and
respective tmem_pools.

[v1: Minor fixes: used #define for some values and bools]
[v2: Removed CLEANCACHE_HAS_LAZY_INIT]
[v3: Added more comments, added a lock for [shared_|]fs_poolid_map]
