Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] a caching layer for raid5/6
Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 19:57:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1432003804.git.shli@fb.com> (raw)

Hi,

This is the second version of the raid5/6 caching layer patches. The patches add a
caching layer for raid5/6. The caching layer uses a SSD as a cache for a raid
5/6. It works like the similar way of a hardware raid controller. The purpose
is to improve raid performance (reduce read-modify-write) and fix write hole
issue. The main patch is patch 3 and the description has all details about the
implementation.

Main changes of V2 are to improve performance. Meta data write doesn't use FUA
any more. Discard request is only dispatched when discard range is big enough.
Also have some bug fixing and code cleanup. Please review!

Thanks,
Shaohua
