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) * tag 'dm-4.1-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (34 commits) dm crypt: fix missing error code return from crypt_ctr error path dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY dm crypt: leverage immutable biovecs when decrypting on read dm crypt: update URLs to new cryptsetup project page dm: add log writes target dm table: use bool function return values of true/false not 1/0 dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks dm thin: remove stale 'trim' message documentation dm delay: use msecs_to_jiffies for time conversion dm log userspace base: fix compile warning dm log userspace transfer: match wait_for_completion_timeout return type dm table: fall back to getting device using name_to_dev_t() init: stricter checking of major:minor root= values init: export name_to_dev_t and mark name argument as const dm: add 'use_blk_mq' module param and expose in per-device ro sysfs attr dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic dm sysfs: introduce ability to add writable attributes dm: don't start current request if it would've merged with the previous ...

+ reasonable merge candidate can be queued on the request
+ queue. The resolution of this deadline is in
+ microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs).
+ Setting this attribute to 0 (the default) will disable
+ request-based DM's merge heuristic and associated extra
+ accounting. This attribute is not applicable to
+ bio-based DM devices so it will only ever report 0 for
+ them.
