/*
* The cache policy makes the important decisions about which blocks get to
* live on the faster cache device.
*
* When the core target has to remap a bio it calls the 'map' method of the
* policy. This returns an instruction telling the core target what to do.
*
* POLICY_HIT:
* That block is in the cache. Remap to the cache and carry on.
*
* POLICY_MISS:
* This block is on the origin device. Remap and carry on.
*
* POLICY_NEW:
* This block is currently on the origin device, but the policy wants to
* move it. The core should:
*
* - hold any further io to this origin block
* - copy the origin to the given cache block
* - release all the held blocks
* - remap the original block to the cache
*
* POLICY_REPLACE:
* This block is currently on the origin device. The policy wants to
* move it to the cache, with the added complication that the destination
* cache block needs a writeback first. The core should:
*
* - hold any further io to this origin block
* - hold any further io to the origin block that's being written back
* - writeback
* - copy new block to cache
* - release held blocks
* - remap bio to cache and reissue.
*
* Should the core run into trouble while processing a POLICY_NEW or
* POLICY_REPLACE instruction it will roll back the policies mapping using
* remove_mapping() or force_mapping(). These methods must not fail. This
* approach avoids having transactional semantics in the policy (ie, the
* core informing the policy when a migration is complete), and hence makes
* it easier to write new policies.
*
* In general policy methods should never block, except in the case of the
* map function when can_migrate is set. So be careful to implement using
* bounded, preallocated memory.
