f738306b91 dm btree: add ref counting ops for the leaves of top level btrees
commit b0dc3c8bc157c60b1d470163882be8c13e1950af upstream.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down.  If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.

This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp).  And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

38d67580f6 dm persistent data: rename node to btree_node
commit 550929faf8 upstream.

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.

struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

a3aefb395e dm persistent data: remove redundant value_size arg from value_ptr
Now that the value_size is held within every node of the btrees we can
remove this argument from value_ptr().

For the last few months a BUG_ON has been checking this argument is
the same as that held in the node.  No issues were reported.  So this
is a safe change.

3241b1d3e0 dm: add persistent data library
The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.

It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.

For further information, please read
Documentation/device-mapper/persistent-data.txt
