From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jonathan Brassow Subject: [PATCH 0 of 2] DM log userspace: Allow DM_ULOG_CTR exchange to accept devices for register Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:15:12 -0500 Message-ID: <1318533312.28595.4.camel@f14.redhat.com> Reply-To: device-mapper development Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com To: dm-devel@redhat.com List-Id: dm-devel.ids The following two patches allow the dm-log-userspace module to have a two-way communication when DM_ULOG_CTR is issued. The outbound (kernel -> userspace) msg sends the CTR information necessary to build the log device. The new inbound (userspace -> kernel) msg sends the log device name to the kernel so the kernel can call 'dm_get_device' on it. This allows the necessary device dependencies to be built. brassow
