Nabeel Meeramohideen Mohamed (nmeeramohide) Sept. 28, 2020, 4:45 p.m. UTC
From: Nabeel M Mohamed <nmeeramohide@micron.com>

Provides utilities to initialize, read, update, and erase mpool
superblocks.

Mpool stores two copies of superblocks, one at offset 0 and the
other at offset 8K in zone 0 of each media class volume. SB0 is
the authoritative copy and SB1 is used for recovery in the event
of corruption.

The superblock comprises the metadata required to uniquely identify
a media class volume, the name and UUID of the mpool to which this
volume belongs to, the superblock version, checksum and device
properties. The superblock on the capacity media class volume also
includes metadata for accessing the metadata container 0 (MDC-0).
MDC-0 is introduced in a future patch.
