Subject: Re: [PATCH] reworked dm-switch target
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 19:14:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120821181432.GA32051@agk-dp.fab.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120821163329.GA21395@freewill.lab.equallogic.com>

Well my order of preference for the interface at the moment would be:
  ioctl: ASCII dm messages
  ioctl: binary dm messages   (i.e. the message content is treated as a binary blob)
  mmap: lookups in shared memory (lockless preferably)
  netlink
