* dm cache: add remove_cblock method to policy interfaceJoe Thornber2013-11-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implement policy_remove_cblock() and add remove_cblock method to the mq policy. These methods will be used by the following cache block invalidation patch which adds the 'invalidate_cblocks' message to the cache core. Also, update some comments in dm-cache-policy.h Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

* dm cache: policy change version from string to integer setMike Snitzer2013-03-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.

* dm: add cache targetJoe Thornber2013-03-011-0/+124
Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a cache for a slower device such as a disk. A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called "mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are under development.
