18 * This manages the scope of a transaction. It also enforces immutability
19 * of the on-disk data structures by limiting access to writeable blocks.
21 * Clients should not fiddle with the block manager directly.
24 void dm_tm_destroy(struct dm_transaction_manager *tm);
27 * The non-blocking version of a transaction manager is intended for use in
28 * fast path code that needs to do lookups e.g. a dm mapping function.
29 * You create the non-blocking variant from a normal tm. The interface is
30 * the same, except that most functions will just return -EWOULDBLOCK.
31 * Methods that return void yet may block should not be called on a clone
32 * viz. tm_inc, tm_dec. Call dm_tm_destroy() as you would with a normal tm
33 * when you've finished with it. You may not destroy the original prior
34 * to clones.
36 struct dm_transaction_manager *dm_tm_create_non_blocking_clone(struct dm_transaction_manager *real);
39 * We use a 2-phase commit here.
41 * i) In the first phase the block manager is told to start flushing, and
42 * the changes to the space map are written to disk. You should interrogate
43 * your particular space map to get detail of its root node etc. to be
44 * included in your superblock.
46 * ii) @root will be committed last. You shouldn't use more than the
47 * first 512 bytes of @root if you wish the transaction to survive a power
48 * failure. You *must* have a write lock held on @root for both stage (i)
49 * and (ii). The commit will drop the write lock.
51 int dm_tm_pre_commit(struct dm_transaction_manager *tm);
52 int dm_tm_commit(struct dm_transaction_manager *tm, struct dm_block *root);
55 * These methods are the only way to get hold of a writeable block.
59 * dm_tm_new_block() is pretty self-explanatory. Make sure you do actually
60 * write to the whole of @data before you unlock, otherwise you could get
61 * a data leak. (The other option is for tm_new_block() to zero new blocks
62 * before handing them out, which will be redundant in most, if not all,
63 * cases).
64 * Zeroes the new block and returns with write lock held.
66 int dm_tm_new_block(struct dm_transaction_manager *tm,
67 struct dm_block_validator *v,
68 struct dm_block **result);
71 * dm_tm_shadow_block() allocates a new block and copies the data from @orig
72 * to it. It then decrements the reference count on original block. Use
73 * this to update the contents of a block in a data structure, don't
74 * confuse this with a clone - you shouldn't access the orig block after
75 * this operation. Because the tm knows the scope of the transaction it
76 * can optimise requests for a shadow of a shadow to a no-op. Don't forget
77 * to unlock when you've finished with the shadow.
79 * The @inc_children flag is used to tell the caller whether it needs to
80 * adjust reference counts for children. (Data in the block may refer to
81 * other blocks.)
83 * Shadowing implicitly drops a reference on @orig so you must not have
84 * it locked when you call this.
86 int dm_tm_shadow_block(struct dm_transaction_manager *tm, dm_block_t orig,
87 struct dm_block_validator *v,
88 struct dm_block **result, int *inc_children);
91 * Read access. You can lock any block you want. If there's a write lock
92 * on it outstanding then it'll block.

101 * Functions for altering the reference count of a block directly.

113 * A little utility that ties the knot by producing a transaction manager
114 * that has a space map managed by the transaction manager...
116 * Returns a tm that has an open transaction to write the new disk sm.
117 * Caller should store the new sm root and commit.
