Allow expressing client's location in terms of CRUSH hierarchy as a set of (bucket type name, bucket name) pairs. The userspace syntax "crush_location = key1=value1 key2=value2" is incompatible with mount options and needed adaptation. Key-value pairs are separated by '|' and we use ':' instead of '=' to separate keys from values. So for: crush_location = host=foo rack=bar one would write: crush_location=host:foo|rack:bar As in userspace, "multipath" locations are supported, so indicating locality for parallel hierarchies is possible: crush_location=rack:foo1|rack:foo2|datacenter:bar Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
