The structure used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-cluster.h.  Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' is used as the interface for
communication.

Maye I misremember it, but isn't the connector code strongly deprecated
in favour of genetlink?

Looks like you misremember this. Connector and genetlink are quite
different projects - the former has very simple to use interface
specially designed for the subsystem which are not deeply network aware,
while genetlink has classical netlink networking interface (attributes,
macroses and so on).
