* Add lazy init logic to cb format. Override with --full-init.
* Make cbd check lazy init aware.
* Fix up a bunch of size calculation errors.
* Add pblk validity check in lbd_flush, lbd_read.
* cbd check now works (ish).
* Added full-check arg to cbd check, link with liblz4, libz.
* Added libcbd/util.c with goodies like verbose, ask_user_bool.
* Rework kernel side params, stats to separate from user space.
* Lock kernel stats when updating.
* Add lblk_used to stats.
... and probably some other forgotten things.
* Separate cache and flush locks.
Note lock order: flush -> cache
* Never flush lbd with either cache or flush lock held.
* Rename locks in other caches for consistency.
* Total cache size is the minimum of:
- 1/1k of system RAM.
- 1/64k of backing device.
- 32 * 2 * CPUs.
The latter ensures that we have at least 2*CPUs lbd objects
which is required for the top level compress operations.
* Implement LRU for all caches.
* Track pblk full and last allocated block for better performance.
Still could use better parsing for cache_pages parameter and more
granularity, but this is workable for now.
This seems to work except for I/O timing. Reads are sync and
writes are async, so this sequence fails:
- Object x flushes
- Object x is reused as y
- Another object is taken as x
- New object x reads
-> Stale data is read
Two potential solutions from here:
1. Implement async reads.
2. Hold ref to object until write completes.
(1) is complicated, but more correct. Writes may stay in buffers for
quite some time (typically 5 seconds), during which time the dm-compress
object cannot be released.
