Merge tag 'dm-3.15-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size - Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache - Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios error path - Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and dm-era). - Various small cleanups in the DM core - Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an 'era'. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot. - Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree. The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple threads improved by ~70%. - Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO internally. * tag 'dm-3.15-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (24 commits) dm cache: fix a lock-inversion dm thin: sort the per thin deferred bios using an rb_tree dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists dm thin: simplify pool_is_congested dm thin: fix dangling bio in process_deferred_bios error path dm mpath: print more useful warnings in multipath_message() dm-mpath: do not activate failed paths dm mpath: remove extra nesting in map function dm mpath: remove map_io() dm mpath: reduce memory pressure when requeuing dm mpath: remove process_queued_ios() dm mpath: push back requests instead of queueing dm table: add dm_table_run_md_queue_async dm mpath: do not call pg_init when it is already running dm: use RCU_INIT_POINTER instead of rcu_assign_pointer in __unbind dm: stop using bi_private dm: remove dm_get_mapinfo dm: make dm_table_alloc_md_mempools static dm: take care to copy the space map roots before locking the superblock dm transaction manager: fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit ...
