deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning. Please see both:
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo.rst and
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo-design.rst
- The DM vdo target handles its concurrency by pinning an IO, and
subsequent stages of handling that IO, to a particular VDO thread.
This aspect of VDO is "unique" but its overall implementation is
very tightly coupled to its mostly lockless threading model.
As such, VDO is not easily changed to use more traditional
finer-grained locking and Linux workqueues. Please see the "Zones
and Threading" section of vdo-design.rst
- The DM vdo target has been used in production for many years but has
seen significant changes over the past ~6 years to prepare it for
upstream inclusion. The codebase is still large but it is isolated
to drivers/md/dm-vdo/ and has been made considerably more
approachable and maintainable.
- Matt Sakai has been added to the MAINTAINERS file to reflect that he
will send VDO changes upstream through the DM subsystem maintainers.
