Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - various fixes and improvements to request-based DM and DM multipath - some locking improvements in DM bufio - add Kconfig option to disable the DM block manager's extra locking which mainly serves as a developer tool - a few bug fixes to DM's persistent-data - a couple changes to prepare for multipage biovec support in the block layer - various improvements and cleanups in the DM core, DM cache, DM raid and DM crypt - add ability to have DM crypt use keys from the kernel key retention service - add a new "error_writes" feature to the DM flakey target, reads are left unchanged in this mode * tag 'dm-4.10-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (40 commits) dm flakey: introduce "error_writes" feature dm cache policy smq: use hash_32() instead of hash_32_generic() dm crypt: reject key strings containing whitespace chars dm space map: always set ev if sm_ll_mutate() succeeds dm space map metadata: skip useless memcpy in metadata_ll_init_index() dm space map metadata: fix 'struct sm_metadata' leak on failed create Documentation: dm raid: define data_offset status field dm raid: fix discard support regression dm raid: don't allow "write behind" with raid4/5/6 dm mpath: use hw_handler_params if attached hw_handler is same as requested dm crypt: add ability to use keys from the kernel key retention service dm array: remove a dead assignment in populate_ablock_with_values() dm ioctl: use offsetof() instead of open-coding it dm rq: simplify use_blk_mq initialization dm: use blk_set_queue_dying() in __dm_destroy() dm bufio: drop the lock when doing GFP_NOIO allocation dm bufio: don't take the lock in dm_bufio_shrink_count dm bufio: avoid sleeping while holding the dm_bufio lock dm table: simplify dm_table_determine_type() dm table: an 'all_blk_mq' table must be loaded for a blk-mq DM device ...
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
