Merge tag 'for-6.11/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mikulas Patocka:

 - Optimize processing of flush bios in the dm-linear and dm-stripe
   targets

 - Dm-io cleansups and refactoring

 - Remove unused 'struct thunk' in dm-cache

 - Handle minor device numbers > 255 in dm-init

 - Dm-verity refactoring & enabling platform keyring

 - Fix warning in dm-raid

 - Improve dm-crypt performance - split bios to smaller pieces, so that
   They could be processed concurrently

 - Stop using blk_limits_io_{min,opt}

 - Dm-vdo cleanup and refactoring

 - Remove max_write_zeroes_granularity and max_secure_erase_granularity

 - Dm-multipath cleanup & refactoring

 - Add dm-crypt and dm-integrity support for non-power-of-2 sector size

 - Fix reshape in dm-raid

 - Make dm_block_validator const

+Module parameters::
+max_read_size
+max_write_size
+   Maximum size of read or write requests. When a request larger than this size
+   is received, dm-crypt will split the request. The splitting improves
+   concurrency (the split requests could be encrypted in parallel by multiple
+   cores), but it also causes overhead. The user should tune these parameters to
