2024-12-09dm-cache: fix warnings about duplicate slab cachesMikulas Patocka
commit 346dbf1b1345476a6524512892cceb931bee3039 upstream. The commit 4c39529663b9 adds a warning about duplicate cache names if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is selected. These warnings are triggered by the dm-cache code. The dm-cache code allocates a slab cache for each device. This commit changes it to allocate just one slab cache in the module init function.

2017-03-07dm cache: significant rework to leverage dm-bio-prison-v2Joe Thornber
The cache policy interfaces have been updated to work well with the new bio-prison v2 interface's ability to queue work immediately (promotion, demotion, etc) -- overriding benefit being reduced latency on processing IO through the cache. Previously such work would be left for the DM cache core to queue on various lists and then process in batches later -- this caused a serious delay in latency for IO driven by the cache. The background tracker code was factored out so that all cache policies can make use of it. Also, the "cleaner" policy has been removed and is now a variant of the smq policy that simply disallows migrations.
