15 * The device-mapper userspace log module consists of a kernel component and
16 * a user-space component. The kernel component implements the API defined
17 * in dm-dirty-log.h. Its purpose is simply to pass the parameters and
18 * return values of those API functions between kernel and user-space.
20 * Below are defined the 'request_types' - DM_ULOG_CTR, DM_ULOG_DTR, etc.
21 * These request types represent the different functions in the device-mapper
22 * dirty log API. Each of these is described in more detail below.
24 * The user-space program must listen for requests from the kernel (representing
25 * the various API functions) and process them.
27 * User-space begins by setting up the communication link (error checking
28 * removed for clarity):
29 * fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
30 * addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
31 * addr.nl_groups = CN_IDX_DM;
32 * addr.nl_pid = 0;
33 * r = bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));
34 * opt = addr.nl_groups;
35 * setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &opt, sizeof(opt));
37 * User-space will then wait to receive requests form the kernel, which it
38 * will process as described below. The requests are received in the form,
39 * ((struct dm_ulog_request) + (additional data)). Depending on the request
40 * type, there may or may not be 'additional data'. In the descriptions below,
41 * you will see 'Payload-to-userspace' and 'Payload-to-kernel'. The
42 * 'Payload-to-userspace' is what the kernel sends in 'additional data' as
43 * necessary parameters to complete the request. The 'Payload-to-kernel' is
44 * the 'additional data' returned to the kernel that contains the necessary
45 * results of the request. The 'data_size' field in the dm_ulog_request
46 * structure denotes the availability and amount of payload data.
50 * DM_ULOG_CTR corresponds to (found in dm-dirty-log.h):
51 * int (*ctr)(struct dm_dirty_log *log, struct dm_target *ti,
52 * unsigned argc, char **argv);
54 * Payload-to-userspace:
55 * A single string containing all the argv arguments separated by ' 's
56 * Payload-to-kernel:
57 * A NUL-terminated string that is the name of the device that is used
58 * as the backing store for the log data. 'dm_get_device' will be called
59 * on this device. ('dm_put_device' will be called on this device
60 * automatically after calling DM_ULOG_DTR.) If there is no device needed
61 * for log data, 'data_size' in the dm_ulog_request struct should be 0.
63 * The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is the reference that
64 * will be used by all request types to a specific log. The constructor must
65 * record this association with the instance created.
67 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
68 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - setting the 'error' field, filling the
69 * data field with the log device if necessary, and setting 'data_size'
70 * appropriately.

75 * DM_ULOG_DTR corresponds to (found in dm-dirty-log.h):
76 * void (*dtr)(struct dm_dirty_log *log);
78 * Payload-to-userspace:
79 * A single string containing all the argv arguments separated by ' 's
80 * Payload-to-kernel:
81 * None. ('data_size' in the dm_ulog_request struct should be 0.)
83 * The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is all that is
84 * necessary to identify the log instance being destroyed. There is no
85 * payload data.
87 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
88 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - setting the 'error' field and clearing
89 * 'data_size' appropriately.

154 * Payload-to-userspace:
155 * None.
156 * Payload-to-kernel:
157 * __u64 - contains the region size
159 * The region size is something that was determined at constructor time.
160 * It is returned in the payload area and 'data_size' is set to
161 * reflect this.
163 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
164 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - setting the 'error' field appropriately.
166 #define DM_ULOG_GET_REGION_SIZE 6
169 * DM_ULOG_IS_CLEAN corresponds to (found in dm-dirty-log.h):
170 * int (*is_clean)(struct dm_dirty_log *log, region_t region);
172 * Payload-to-userspace:
173 * __u64 - the region to get clean status on
174 * Payload-to-kernel:
175 * __s64 - 1 if clean, 0 otherwise
177 * Payload is sizeof(__u64) and contains the region for which the clean
178 * status is being made.
180 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
181 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - filling the payload with 0 (not clean) or
182 * 1 (clean), setting 'data_size' and 'error' appropriately.

193 * Payload-to-kernel:
194 * __s64 - 1 if in-sync, 0 otherwise
196 * Exactly the same as 'is_clean' above, except this time asking "has the
197 * region been recovered?" vs. "is the region not being modified?"
199 #define DM_ULOG_IN_SYNC 8
202 * DM_ULOG_FLUSH corresponds to (found in dm-dirty-log.h):
203 * int (*flush)(struct dm_dirty_log *log);

207 * table, the payload is as same as DM_ULOG_MARK_REGION:
208 * __u64 [] - region(s) to mark
209 * else
210 * None
211 * Payload-to-kernel:
212 * None.
214 * If the 'integrated_flush' option was used during the creation of the
215 * log, mark region requests are carried as payload in the flush request.
216 * Piggybacking the mark requests in this way allows for fewer communications
217 * between kernel and userspace.
219 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
220 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - setting the 'error' field and clearing
221 * 'data_size' appropriately.

251 * None.
253 * Incoming payload contains the one or more regions to mark clean.
254 * The number of regions contained in the payload can be determined from

289 * __s64 - 0 if not-in-sync, 1 if in-sync
291 * Payload-to-kernel:
292 * None.
294 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the

388 * DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented when there is a
389 * change to the way information is passed between kernel
390 * and userspace. This could be a structure change of
391 * dm_ulog_request or a change in the way requests are
392 * issued/handled. Changes are outlined here:
393 * version 1: Initial implementation
394 * version 2: DM_ULOG_CTR allowed to return a string containing a
395 * device name that is to be registered with DM via
396 * 'dm_get_device'.
397 * version 3: DM_ULOG_FLUSH is capable of carrying payload for marking
398 * regions. This "integrated flush" reduces the number of
399 * requests between the kernel and userspace by effectively
400 * merging 'mark' and 'flush' requests. A constructor table
401 * argument ('integrated_flush') is required to turn this
402 * feature on, so it is backwards compatible with older
403 * userspace versions.

413 * the 'luid'. The uuid is what is required for node to node
414 * communication concerning a particular log, but the 'luid' helps
415 * differentiate between logs that are being swapped and have the
416 * same 'uuid'. (Think "live" and "inactive" device-mapper tables.)
