Merge tag 'for-6.10/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Add a dm-crypt optional "high_priority" flag that enables the crypt
workqueues to use WQ_HIGHPRI.
- Export dm-crypt workqueues via sysfs (by enabling WQ_SYSFS) to allow
for improved visibility and controls over IO and crypt workqueues.
- Fix dm-crypt to no longer constrain max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE.
This limit isn't needed given that the block core provides late bio
splitting if bio exceeds underlying limits (e.g. max_segment_size).
- Fix dm-crypt crypt_queue's use of WQ_UNBOUND to not use
WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE because it is meaningless with WQ_UNBOUND.
- Fix various issues with dm-delay target (ranging from a resource
teardown fix, a fix for hung task when using kthread mode, and other
improvements that followed from code inspection).
