    dm cache: policy ignore hints if generated by different version · ea2dd8c1
    Mike Snitzer authored
    When reading the dm cache metadata from disk, ignore the policy hints
    unless they were generated by the same major version number of the same
    policy module.
    
    The hints are considered to be private data belonging to the specific
    module that generated them and there is no requirement for them to make
    sense to different versions of the policy that generated them.
    Policy modules are all required to work fine if no previous hints are
    supplied (or if existing hints are lost).
