    dm cache: reduce bio front_pad size in writeback mode · 19b0092e
    Mike Snitzer authored
    A recent patch to fix the dm cache target's writethrough mode extended
    the bio's front_pad to include a 1056-byte struct dm_bio_details.
    Writeback mode doesn't need this, so this patch reduces the
    per_bio_data_size to 16 bytes in this case instead of 1096.
    
    The dm_bio_details structure was added in "dm cache: fix writes to
    cache device in writethrough mode" which fixed commit e2e74d61 ("dm
    cache: fix race in writethrough implementation").  In writeback mode
    we avoid allocating the writethrough-specific members of the
    per_bio_data structure (the dm_bio_details structure included).
