[PATCH 6/8] dm core: enable request-based dm

From: Kiyoshi Ueda
Date: Fri Oct 03 2008 - 11:21:54 EST


This patch enables request-based dm.

o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are
some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm.
Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel
(e.g. md, loop).
Since bio-based device can't receive struct request,
there are some limitations on device stacking between
bio-based and request-based.

type of underlying device
bio-based requeset-based
----------------------------------------------
bio-based OK OK
request-based NG OK

The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel,
so dm follows that.

o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table loading time.
Until then, mempool creations are deferred, since mempools for
request-based dm are different from those for bio-based dm.
Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed.

o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single
target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request
splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets.
The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter
needs that all target drivers support merge() function.
Both will take a time.
