| 2021-08-10 | dm writecache: add event counters | Mikulas Patocka | |
| Add 10 counters for various events (hit, miss, etc) and export them in the status line (accessed from userspace with "dmsetup status"). Also add a message "clear_stats" that resets these counters.

| 2021-06-28 | dm writecache: make writeback pause configurable | Mikulas Patocka | |
| Commit 95b88f4d71cb953e02206be3c757083601391a0f ("dm writecache: pause writeback if cache full and origin being written directly") introduced a code that pauses cache flushing if we are issuing writes directly to the origin. Improve that initial commit by making the timeout code configurable (via the option "pause_writeback"). Also change the default from 1s to 3s because it performed better.

| 2021-06-25 | dm writecache: add optional "metadata_only" parameter | Mikulas Patocka | |
| Add a "metadata_only" parameter that when present: only metadata is promoted to the cache. This option improves performance for heavier REQ_META workloads (e.g. device-mapper-test-suite's "git clone and checkout" benchmark improves from 341s to 312s).
