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.
17  *
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.
21  *
22  * The user-space program must listen for requests from the kernel (representing
23  * the various API functions) and process them.
24  *
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));
34  *
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.

58  *	automatically after calling DM_ULOG_DTR.)  If there is no device needed
59  *	for log data, 'data_size' in the dm_ulog_request struct should be 0.
60  *
61  * The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is the reference that

63  * record this association with the instance created.
