The cleaner policy doesn't make use of the per cache block hint space in the metadata (unlike the other policies). When switching from the cleaner policy to mq or smq a NULL pointer crash (in dm_tm_new_block) was observed. The crash was caused by bugs in dm-cache-metadata.c when trying to skip creation of the hint btree. The minimal fix is to change hint size for the cleaner policy to 4 bytes (only hint size supported).
