Merge tag 'dm-3.19-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster distributed filesystem. Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying devices. This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller. - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization. - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements. - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison. This allows for much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs discards the entire device). - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must suspend/resume. This avoids forcing userspace to track all active thin volumes in a thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the purposes of metadata or data space resize. * tag 'dm-3.19-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (49 commits) dm crypt: use memzero_explicit for on-stack buffer dm space map metadata: fix sm_bootstrap_get_count() dm space map metadata: fix sm_bootstrap_get_nr_blocks() dm bufio: fix memleak when using a dm_buffer's inline bio dm cache: fix spurious cell_defer when dealing with partial block at end of device dm cache: dirty flag was mistakenly being cleared when promoting via overwrite dm cache: only use overwrite optimisation for promotion when in writeback mode dm cache: discard block size must be a multiple of cache block size dm cache: fix a harmless race when working out if a block is discarded dm cache: when reloading a discard bitset allow for a different discard block size dm cache: fix some issues with the new discard range support dm array: if resizing the array is a noop set the new root to the old one dm: use rcu_dereference_protected instead of rcu_dereference dm thin: fix pool_io_hints to avoid looking at max_hw_sectors dm thin: suspend/resume active thin devices when reloading thin-pool dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interface dm thin: do not allow thin device activation while pool is suspended dm: add presuspend_undo hook to target_type dm: return earlier from dm_blk_ioctl if target doesn't implement .ioctl dm thin: remove stale 'trim' message in block comment above pool_message ...
