This three-patch series tidies dm-pcache’s build glue and tightens the metadata scan.
Patch 1 allow dm-pcache to be linked into vmlinux and avoids clashing with the sunrpc
cache_flush() by using obj-$(CONFIG_DM_PCACHE) and renaming the helper across the tree.
Patch 2 drops a redundant recomputation of the metadata slot pointer while walking headers.
Patch 3 Ensure dm-pcache initializes cache_info from a zeroed state so metadata CRC
failures can’t leak stale flags into the new-cache path.
Thanks for your review.
Li Chen (3):
dm-pcache: allow built-in build and rename flush helper
dm-pcache: reuse meta_addr in pcache_meta_find_latest
dm-pcache: zero cache_info before default init
