Merge tag 'for-5.6/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM core's potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer in the unlikely case that a DM device is created without a DM table and then accessed due to upper-layer userspace code or user error. - Fix DM thin-provisioning's metadata_pre_commit_callback to not use memory after it is free'd. Also refactor code to disallow changing the thin-pool's data device once in use -- doing so guarantees smae lifetime of pool's data device relative to the pool metadata. - Fix DM space maps used by DM thinp and DM cache to avoid reuse of a already used block. This race was identified with extremely heavy snapshot use in the context of DM thin provisioning. - Fix DM raid's table status relative to an active rebuild. - Fix DM crypt to use GFP_NOIO rather than GFP_NOFS in call to skcipher_request_alloc(). Also fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode. - Add DM crypt support for Elephant diffuser to allow for Bitlocker compatibility. - Fix DM verity target to not prefetch hash blocks for data that has already been verified. - Fix DM writecache's incorrect flush sequence during commit when in SSD mode. - Improve DM writecache's sequential write performance on SSDs. - Add DM zoned target support for zone sizes smaller than 128MiB. - Add DM multipath 'queue_if_no_path_timeout_secs' module param to allow timeout if path isn't reinstated. This allows users a kernel safety-net against IO hanging indefinitely, due to no active paths, that has historically only been provided by multipathd userspace. - Various DM code cleanups to use true/false rather than 1/0, a variable rename in dm-dust, and fix for a math error in comment for DM thin metadata's ondisk format. * tag 'for-5.6/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (21 commits) dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer dm writecache: improve performance of large linear writes on SSDs dm mpath: Add timeout mechanism for queue_if_no_path dm thin: change data device's flush_bio to be member of struct pool dm thin: don't allow changing data device during thin-pool reload dm thin: fix use-after-free in metadata_pre_commit_callback dm thin metadata: use pool locking at end of dm_pool_metadata_close dm writecache: fix incorrect flush sequence when doing SSD mode commit dm crypt: fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode dm crypt: Implement Elephant diffuser for Bitlocker compatibility dm space map common: fix to ensure new block isn't already in use dm verity: don't prefetch hash blocks for already-verified data dm crypt: fix GFP flags passed to skcipher_request_alloc() dm thin metadata: Fix trivial math error in on-disk format documentation dm thin metadata: use true/false for bool variable dm snapshot: use true/false for bool variable dm bio prison v2: use true/false for bool variable dm mpath: use true/false for bool variable dm zoned: support zone sizes smaller than 128MiB dm raid: table line rebuild status fixes ...
