2014-03-27dm cache: remove remainder of distinct discard block sizeHeinz Mauelshagen
Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it should not. Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the cache block size and discard block size.

2013-03-01dm: add cache targetJoe Thornber
Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a cache for a slower device such as a disk. A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called "mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are under development.
