Merge tag 'for-5.9/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - DM multipath locking fixes around m->flags tests and improvements to bio-based code so that it follows patterns established by request-based code. - Request-based DM core improvement to eliminate unnecessary call to blk_mq_queue_stopped(). - Add "panic_on_corruption" error handling mode to DM verity target. - DM bufio fix to to perform buffer cleanup from a workqueue rather than wait for IO in reclaim context from shrinker. - DM crypt improvement to optionally avoid async processing via workqueues for reads and/or writes -- via "no_read_workqueue" and "no_write_workqueue" features. This more direct IO processing improves latency and throughput with faster storage. Avoiding workqueue IO submission for writes (DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE) is a requirement for adding zoned block device support to DM crypt. - Add zoned block device support to DM crypt. Makes use of DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE and a new optional feature (DM_CRYPT_WRITE_INLINE) that allows write completion to wait for encryption to complete. This allows write ordering to be preserved, which is needed for zoned block devices. - Fix DM ebs target's check for REQ_OP_FLUSH. - Fix DM core's report zones support to not report more zones than were requested. - A few small compiler warning fixes. - DM dust improvements to return output directly to the user rather than require they scrape the system log for output. * tag 'for-5.9/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm: don't call report zones for more than the user requested dm ebs: Fix incorrect checking for REQ_OP_FLUSH dm init: Set file local variable static dm ioctl: Fix compilation warning dm raid: Remove empty if statement dm verity: Fix compilation warning dm crypt: Enable zoned block device support dm crypt: add flags to optionally bypass kcryptd workqueues dm bufio: do buffer cleanup from a workqueue dm rq: don't call blk_mq_queue_stopped() in dm_stop_queue() dm dust: add interface to list all badblocks dm dust: report some message results directly back to user dm verity: add "panic_on_corruption" error handling mode dm mpath: use double checked locking in fast path dm mpath: rename current_pgpath to pgpath in multipath_prepare_ioctl dm mpath: rework __map_bio() dm mpath: factor out multipath_queue_bio dm mpath: push locking down to must_push_back_rq() dm mpath: take m->lock spinlock when testing QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH dm mpath: changes from initial m->flags locking audit
