dm persistent data: rename node to btree_node

2012-12-21T20:23:30+00:00

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.

struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

dm persistent data: remove redundant value_size arg from value_ptr

2012-03-28T17:41:25+00:00

Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().

For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node.  No issues were reported.  So this
is a safe change.

dm: add persistent data library

2011-10-31T20:19:11+00:00

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.

For further information, please read
