This patch adds two hash maps, one keyed by integers, the other by pointers, and also a priority heap. The integer map is used for locking of logical and physical addresses. The pointer map is used for managing concurrent writes of the same data, ensuring that those writes are deduplicated. The priority heap is used to minimize the search time for free blocks.

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.
