Merge tag 'dm-3.14-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device-mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
 "A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning
  target's handling of metadata operation failures and running out of
  space.  A new 'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to
  error IOs rather than queue them when either the data or metadata
  space is exhausted.

  Additional fixes/features include:
   - a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
   - a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject
     to be released before destroying the device
   - old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
     advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot
     activation
   - new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is
     promoted to the cache (fast) device
   - improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
     userspace flush and mark requests"
