Merge tag 'dm-4.1-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- the most extensive changes this cycle are the DM core improvements to
add full blk-mq support to request-based DM.
- disabled by default but user can opt-in with CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT
- depends on some blk-mq changes from Jens' for-4.1/core branch so
that explains why this pull is built on linux-block.git
- update DM to use name_to_dev_t() rather than open-coding a less
capable device parser.
- includes a couple small improvements to name_to_dev_t() that offer
stricter constraints that DM's code provided.
- improvements to the dm-cache "mq" cache replacement policy.
- a DM crypt crypt_ctr() error path fix and an async crypto deadlock
fix
- a small efficiency improvement for DM crypt decryption by leveraging
immutable biovecs
- add error handling modes for corrupted blocks to DM verity
- a new "log-writes" DM target from Josef Bacik that is meant for file
system developers to test file system integrity at particular points
in the life of a file system
- a few DM log userspace cleanups and fixes
- a few Documentation fixes (for thin, cache, crypt and switch)
