+Device-Mapper Logging
+=====================
+The device-mapper logging code is used by some of the device-mapper
+RAID targets to track regions of the disk that are not consistent.
+A region (or portion of the address space) of the disk may be
+inconsistent because a RAID stripe is currently being operated on or
+a machine died while the region was being altered.  In the case of
+mirrors, a region would be considered dirty/inconsistent while you
+are writing to it because the writes need to be replicated for all
+the legs of the mirror and may not reach the legs at the same time.
+Once all writes are complete, the region is considered clean again.
+
+There is a generic logging interface that the device-mapper RAID
+implementations use to perform logging operations (see
+dm_dirty_log_type in include/linux/dm-dirty-log.h).  Various different
+logging implementations are available and provide different
+capabilities.  The list includes:
+
+Type		Files
+====		=====
+disk		drivers/md/dm-log.c
+core		drivers/md/dm-log.c
+userspace	drivers/md/dm-log-userspace* include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h
+
+The "disk" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation commits the log state to disk.  This way, the
+logging state survives reboots/crashes.
+
+The "core" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation keeps the log state in memory.  The log state
+will not survive a reboot or crash, but there may be a small boost in
+performance.  This method can also be used if no storage device is
+available for storing log state.
+
+The "userspace" log type
+------------------------
+This log type simply provides a way to export the log API to userspace,
+so log implementations can be done there.  This is done by forwarding most
+logging requests to userspace, where a daemon receives and processes the
+request.
+
+The structure used for communication between kernel and userspace are
+located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h.  Due to the frequency,
+diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
+kernel and userspace, 'connector' is used as the interface for
+communication.
+
+There are currently two userspace log implementations that leverage this
+framework - "clustered_disk" and "clustered_core".  These implementations
+provide a cluster-coherent log for shared-storage.  Device-mapper mirroring
+can be used in a shared-storage environment when the cluster log implementations
+are employed.

+===============
+
+dm-queue-length is a path selector module for device-mapper targets,
+which selects a path with the least number of in-flight I/Os.
+The path selector name is 'queue-length'.
+
+Table parameters for each path: [<repeat_count>]
+	<repeat_count>: The number of I/Os to dispatch using the selected
+			path before switching to the next path.
+			If not given, internal default is used. To check
+			the default value, see the activated table.
+
+Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight>
+	<status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed.
+	<fail-count>: The number of path failures.
+	<in-flight>: The number of in-flight I/Os on the path.
+
+
+Algorithm
+=========
+
+dm-queue-length increments/decrements 'in-flight' when an I/O is

+dm-service-time
+===============
+
+dm-service-time is a path selector module for device-mapper targets,
+which selects a path with the shortest estimated service time for
+the incoming I/O.
+
+The service time for each path is estimated by dividing the total size
+of in-flight I/Os on a path with the performance value of the path.
+The performance value is a relative throughput value among all paths
+in a path-group, and it can be specified as a table argument.
+
+The path selector name is 'service-time'.
+
+Table parameters for each path: [<repeat_count> [<relative_throughput>]]
+	<repeat_count>: The number of I/Os to dispatch using the selected
+			path before switching to the next path.
+			If not given, internal default is used.  To check
+			the default value, see the activated table.
+	<relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+			among all paths in the path-group.
+			The valid range is 0-100.
+			If not given, minimum value '1' is used.
+			If '0' is given, the path isn't selected while
+			other paths having a positive value are available.
+
+Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight-size> \
+		      <relative_throughput>
+	<status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed.
+	<fail-count>: The number of path failures.
+	<in-flight-size>: The size of in-flight I/Os on the path.
+	<relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+			among all paths in the path-group.
+
+
+Algorithm
+=========
+
+dm-service-time adds the I/O size to 'in-flight-size' when the I/O is
+dispatched and substracts when completed.
+Basically, dm-service-time selects a path having minimum service time
+which is calculated by:
+
+	('in-flight-size' + 'size-of-incoming-io') / 'relative_throughput'
+
+However, some optimizations below are used to reduce the calculation
+as much as possible.
+
+	1. If the paths have the same 'relative_throughput', skip
+	   the division and just compare the 'in-flight-size'.
+
+	2. If the paths have the same 'in-flight-size', skip the division
+	   and just compare the 'relative_throughput'.
+
+	3. If some paths have non-zero 'relative_throughput' and others
+	   have zero 'relative_throughput', ignore those paths with zero
+	   'relative_throughput'.
+
+If such optimizations can't be applied, calculate service time, and
+compare service time.
+If calculated service time is equal, the path having maximum
+'relative_throughput' may be better.  So compare 'relative_throughput'
+then.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+In case that 2 paths (sda and sdb) are used with repeat_count == 128
+and sda has an average throughput 1GB/s and sdb has 4GB/s,
+'relative_throughput' value may be '1' for sda and '4' for sdb.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4" \
+  dmsetup create test
+#
+# dmsetup table
+test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4
+#
+# dmsetup status
+test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 2 8:0 A 0 0 1 8:16 A 0 0 4
+
+
+Or '2' for sda and '8' for sdb would be also true.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 2 8:16 128 8" \
+  dmsetup create test

+ *
+ * During flushing the remaining requests, further incoming requests are also

+ * Then, the marker is removed from the queue.
+ *
+ * To abort flush suspend, we also need to take care of the marker, not only
+ * starting the queue.
+ * We don't remove the marker forcibly from the queue since it's against
+ * the block-layer manner.  Instead, we put a invalidated mark on the marker.
+ * When the invalidated marker is found on the top of the queue, it is
+ * immediately removed from the queue, so it doesn't block dispatching.
+ * Because we have only one marker per mapped_device, we can't start another
+ * flush suspend until the invalidated marker is removed from the queue.

+ * The device-mapper userspace log module consists of a kernel component and
+ * a user-space component.  The kernel component implements the API defined
+ * in dm-dirty-log.h.  Its purpose is simply to pass the parameters and
+ * return values of those API functions between kernel and user-space.
+ *
+ * Below are defined the 'request_types' - DM_ULOG_CTR, DM_ULOG_DTR, etc.
+ * These request types represent the different functions in the device-mapper
+ * dirty log API.  Each of these is described in more detail below.
+ *
+ * The user-space program must listen for requests from the kernel (representing
+ * the various API functions) and process them.
+ *
+ * User-space begins by setting up the communication link (error checking
+ * removed for clarity):
+ *	fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
+ *	addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
+ *	addr.nl_groups = CN_IDX_DM;
+ *	addr.nl_pid = 0;
+ *	r = bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));
+ *	opt = addr.nl_groups;
+ *	setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &opt, sizeof(opt));
+ *
+ * User-space will then wait to receive requests form the kernel, which it
+ * will process as described below.  The requests are received in the form,
+ * ((struct dm_ulog_request) + (additional data)).  Depending on the request
+ * type, there may or may not be 'additional data'.  In the descriptions below,
+ * you will see 'Payload-to-userspace' and 'Payload-to-kernel'.  The
+ * 'Payload-to-userspace' is what the kernel sends in 'additional data' as
+ * necessary parameters to complete the request.  The 'Payload-to-kernel' is
+ * the 'additional data' returned to the kernel that contains the necessary
+ * results of the request.  The 'data_size' field in the dm_ulog_request
+ * structure denotes the availability and amount of payload data.
