Subject: [PATCH 0/4] rbd: get rid of the snapshot list
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:41:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <517FBBF0.9020904@inktank.com> (raw)
An rbd device structure maintains a list of snapshot
structures whose purpose is to cache the name, size,
and features associated with a snapshot id. The main
reason it was needed was related to the presence of
Linux device information for snapshots, which we
no longer have. We can look up the name, etc. "on
the fly" about as easily as we can using the list,
and getting rid of this list means we can eliminate
a substantial bit of code.
The final patch in this series gets rid of the snapshot
list and the rbd_snap structure. The first three put
in place replacement functionality that doesn't require
the list.
