This adds the dm-vdo target. The dm-vdo target provides inline deduplication, compression, and zero-block elimination, allowing applications to consume less actual storage than a normal target. By layering it with other device mapper targets, it can add these features to any storage stack. It can also provide a common deduplication pool for groups of targets. The vdo target does not protect against data corruption, relying instead on integrity protection of the storage below it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
