Linus Torvalds 37cae6ad4c The main addition here is a long-desired target framework to allow ... an SSD to be used as a cache in front of a slower device. Cache tuning is delegated to interchangeable policy modules so these can be developed independently of the mechanics needed to shuffle the data around. Other than that, kcopyd users acquire a throttling parameter, ioctl buffer usage gets streamlined, more mempool reliance is reduced and there are a few other bug fixes and tidy-ups. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJRMTADAAoJEK2W1qbAHj1nAiUP/1Az6kkg+pYQAkD2f3aQLHi8 b3SfkZ5mMSZkBYRUuMzZ5oMuSVZuyoRQi8+qy5PsUSDYO8jH2ja825jOa584OqVW XYBbNi6Te/1L+CMWWCYf5ShyZuu4o5TwIV7IWbaPsVWIwflaTF9WRyEjxG3WRM3X XglrGJqb321Gx2ZI3OwxIPGyXRQWFTCmZ5pshAVAedspE86tKRh2kx3dgLw4qcu/ 3YYMV8DBga+xgNVM/EuoXQLsPpuxdrsSfdYZo7cTvKevgEuO+0vgWZORjCWFfICd ypwco9FHAU5dSjEiQ0rXO5Lhbv3Dx5vfm+vrzPSKUp4WVFhZKLHOZEFDylluEidv jX7a5RohUj/mDOTp+tgZ1GbpTWXtjX9uhoQWbeqZmz189TYX+twnVaNR47Q+YjcL VtYP7SgsUXTzdGJJ/RtGM6zhlgALI5dC6smNGbHLcyFcmIKIAa6LtyE86iPw14DY axKfNwL/c5PmtcmAYxIBx6CDK+M+MunK50/BtX4pOrQyzgbyxtylvrgq/BzvI5m3 FwMkcziDMA0Dhwi1PpXz+MyOnVvGhEb6CrzYrylB98aFyDw2YvwUytBvisTmwSoJ YNn4vwCwJIWetu0ls5SZERLHPOh3rjwaufq9nVXew/FXF8gNjrOTZLHz3XtZbtw5 TMntpytLQ5N9A7bRPuDz =yXuO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'dm-3.9-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm Pull device-mapper update from Alasdair G Kergon: "The main addition here is a long-desired target framework to allow an SSD to be used as a cache in front of a slower device.
