dm-pcache: add cache device

yangdongsheng · kawasaki · commit 49affb53735c · 2025-06-10T13:38:32.000+09:00
Add cache_dev.{c,h} to manage the persistent-memory device that stores
all pcache metadata and data segments.  Splitting this logic out keeps
the main dm-pcache code focused on policy while cache_dev handles the
low-level interaction with the DAX block device.

* DAX mapping
  - Opens the underlying device via dm_get_device().
  - Uses dax_direct_access() to obtain a direct linear mapping; falls
    back to vmap() when the range is fragmented.

* On-disk layout
  ┌─ 4 KB ─┐  super-block (SB)
  ├─ 4 KB ─┤  cache_info[0]
  ├─ 4 KB ─┤  cache_info[1]
  ├─ 4 KB ─┤  cache_ctrl
  └─ ...  ─┘  segments
  Constants and macros in the header expose offsets and sizes.

* Super-block handling
  - sb_read(), sb_validate(), sb_init() verify magic, CRC32 and host
    endianness (flag *PCACHE_SB_F_BIGENDIAN*).
  - Formatting zeroes the metadata replicas and initialises the segment
    bitmap when the SB is blank.

* Segment allocator
  - Bitmap protected by seg_lock; find_next_zero_bit() yields the next
    free 16 MB segment.

* Lifecycle helpers
  - cache_dev_start()/stop() encapsulate init/exit and are invoked by
    dm-pcache core.
  - Gracefully handles errors: CRC mismatch, wrong endianness, device
    too small (&lt; 512 MB), or failed DAX mapping.
