13 * The device-mapper userspace log module consists of a kernel component and
14 * a user-space component. The kernel component implements the API defined
15 * in dm-dirty-log.h. Its purpose is simply to pass the parameters and
16 * return values of those API functions between kernel and user-space.
18 * Below are defined the 'request_types' - DM_ULOG_CTR, DM_ULOG_DTR, etc.
19 * These request types represent the different functions in the device-mapper
20 * dirty log API. Each of these is described in more detail below.
22 * The user-space program must listen for requests from the kernel (representing
23 * the various API functions) and process them.
25 * User-space begins by setting up the communication link (error checking
26 * removed for clarity):
27 * fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
28 * addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
29 * addr.nl_groups = CN_IDX_DM;
30 * addr.nl_pid = 0;
31 * r = bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));
32 * opt = addr.nl_groups;
33 * setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &opt, sizeof(opt));
35 * User-space will then wait to receive requests form the kernel, which it
36 * will process as described below. The requests are received in the form,
37 * ((struct dm_ulog_request) + (additional data)). Depending on the request
38 * type, there may or may not be 'additional data'. In the descriptions below,
39 * you will see 'Payload-to-userspace' and 'Payload-to-kernel'. The
40 * 'Payload-to-userspace' is what the kernel sends in 'additional data' as
41 * necessary parameters to complete the request. The 'Payload-to-kernel' is
42 * the 'additional data' returned to the kernel that contains the necessary
43 * results of the request. The 'data_size' field in the dm_ulog_request
44 * structure denotes the availability and amount of payload data.
48 * DM_ULOG_CTR corresponds to (found in dm-dirty-log.h):
49 * int (*ctr)(struct dm_dirty_log *log, struct dm_target *ti,
50 * unsigned argc, char **argv);
52 * Payload-to-userspace:
53 * A single string containing all the argv arguments separated by ' 's
54 * Payload-to-kernel:
55 * None. ('data_size' in the dm_ulog_request struct should be 0.)
57 * The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is the reference that
58 * will be used by all request types to a specific log. The constructor must
59 * record this assotiation with instance created.
61 * When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
62 * dm_ulog_request to the kernel - setting the 'error' field and
63 * 'data_size' appropriately.

76 * The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is all that is
77 * necessary to identify the log instance being destroyed. There is no
78 * payload data.
