    osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objects · 2a13877c
    Jeff Garzik authored
    Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX,
    where X is a decimal number.
    
    It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top
    of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object
    on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present
    that 2G object as a Linux block device.
    
    See inside patch for exact documentation.
    
    [Sitting at linux-next helped fix proper Kconfig dependency
     for this driver, thanks to Randy Dunlap]
