61 * A predicate function to check the area given by
62 * [sector, sector + len) is in sync.
64 * If -EWOULDBLOCK is returned the state of the region is
65 * unknown, typically this will result in a read being
66 * passed to a daemon to deal with, since a daemon is
67 * allowed to block.

80 * block, though for performance reasons blocking should

90 * The mirrord will need perform recovery on regions of
91 * the mirror that are in the NOSYNC state. This
92 * function asks the log to tell the caller about the
93 * next region that this machine should recover.

96 * tells you if an area is synchronised, the other
97 * assigns recovery work.

121 * is_remote_recovering is necessary for cluster mirroring. It provides
122 * a way to detect recovery on another node, so we aren't writing
123 * concurrently. This function is likely to block (when a cluster log
124 * is used).

136 * type->constructor/destructor() directly.
