Merge tag 'dm-4.11-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix dm-raid transient device failure processing and other smaller
tweaks.
- Add journal support to the DM raid target to close the 'write hole'
on raid 4/5/6.
- Fix dm-cache corruption, due to rounding bug, when cache exceeds 2TB.
- Add 'metadata2' feature to dm-cache to separate the dirty bitset out
from other cache metadata. This improves speed of shutting down a
large cache device (which implies writing out dirty bits).
- Fix a memory leak during dm-stats data structure destruction.
- Fix a DM multipath round-robin path selector performance regression
that was caused by less precise balancing across all paths.
- Lastly, introduce a DM core fix for a long-standing DM snapshot
deadlock that is rooted in the complexity of the device stack used in
conjunction with block core maintaining bios on current->bio_list to
manage recursion in generic_make_request(). A more comprehensive fix
to block core (and its hook in the cpu scheduler) would be wonderful
but this DM-specific fix is pragmatic considering how difficult it
has been to make progress on a generic fix.
