[dm-devel] [PATCH v3] expose dm-stripe target's topology I/O hints

[Mike Snitzer]

Add .io_hints to 'struct target_type' to allow the I/O hints portion
(io_min and io_opt) of the 'struct queue_limits' to be set by each
target.

Expose dm-stripe target's topology I/O hints.  This fix enables striped
DM devices to properly expose their I/O hints to userland via /sys.
Without this fix tools would not be able to reliably depend on the I/O
hints that the I/O topology infrastructure added in 2.6.31-rcX provides.
