Merge tag 'for-6.0/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Refactor DM core's mempool allocation so that it clearer by not being
split acorss files.
- Improve DM core's BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE and BLK_STS_AGAIN handling.
- Optimize DM core's more common bio splitting by eliminating the use
of bio cloning with bio_split+bio_chain. Shift that cloning cost to
the relatively unlikely dm_io requeue case that only occurs during
error handling. Introduces dm_io_rewind() that will clone a bio that
reflects the subset of the original bio that must be requeued.
- Remove DM core's dm_table_get_num_targets() wrapper and audit all
dm_table_get_target() callers.
- Fix potential for OOM with DM writecache target by setting a default
MAX_WRITEBACK_JOBS (set to 256MiB or 1/16 of total system memory,
whichever is smaller).
- Fix DM writecache target's stats that are reported through
DM-specific table info.
- Fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback().
- Refine DM core's Persistent Reservation handling in preparation for
broader work Mike Christie is doing to add compatibility with
Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
- Fix various KASAN reported bugs in the DM raid target.
- Fix DM raid target crash due to md_handle_request() bio splitting
that recurses to block core without properly initializing the bio's
bi_dev.
- Fix some code comment typos and fix some Documentation formatting.
