Merge tag 'for-5.1/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Update bio-based DM core to always call blk_queue_split() and update
   DM targets to properly advertise discard limits that
   blk_queue_split() looks at when dtermining to split discard. Whereby
   allowing DM core's own 'split_discard_bios' to be removed.

 - Improve DM cache target to provide support for discard passdown to
   the origin device.

 - Introduce support to directly boot to a DM mapped device from init by
   using dm-mod.create= module param. This eliminates the need for an
   elaborate initramfs that is otherwise needed to create DM devices.

   This feature's implementation has been worked on for quite some time
   (got up to v12) and is of particular interest to Android and other
   more embedded platforms (e.g. ARM).

 - Rate limit errors from the DM integrity target that were identified
   as the cause for recent NMI hangs due to console limitations.

 - Add sanity checks for user input to thin-pool and external snapshot
   creation.

 - Remove some unused leftover kmem caches from when old .request_fn
   request-based support was removed.

 - Various small cleanups and fixes to targets (e.g. typos, needless
   unlikely() annotations, use struct_size(), remove needless
   .direct_access method from dm-snapshot)

* tag 'for-5.1/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm integrity: limit the rate of error messages

+Early creation of mapped devices
+====================================
+
+It is possible to configure a device-mapper device to act as the root device for
+your system in two ways.
+
+The first is to build an initial ramdisk which boots to a minimal userspace
+which configures the device, then pivot_root(8) in to it.
+
+The second is to create one or more device-mappers using the module parameter
+"dm-mod.create=" through the kernel boot command line argument.
+
+The format is specified as a string of data separated by commas and optionally
+semi-colons, where:
+ - a comma is used to separate fields like name, uuid, flags and table
+   (specifies one device)
+ - a semi-colon is used to separate devices.
+
+So the format will look like this:
+
+ dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]
+
+Where,
+	<name>		::= The device name.
+	<uuid>		::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
+	<minor>		::= The device minor number | ""
+	<flags>		::= "ro" | "rw"
+	<table>		::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
+	<target_type>	::= "verity" | "linear" | ... (see list below)
+
+The dm line should be equivalent to the one used by the dmsetup tool with the
+--concise argument.
+
+Target types
+============
+
+Not all target types are available as there are serious risks in allowing
+activation of certain DM targets without first using userspace tools to check
+the validity of associated metadata.
+
+	"cache":		constrained, userspace should verify cache device
+	"crypt":		allowed
+	"delay":		allowed
+	"era":			constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
+	"flakey":		constrained, meant for test
+	"linear":		allowed
+	"log-writes":		constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
+	"mirror":		constrained, userspace should verify main/mirror device
+	"raid":			constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
+	"snapshot":		constrained, userspace should verify src/dst device
+	"snapshot-origin":	allowed
+	"snapshot-merge":	constrained, userspace should verify src/dst device
+	"striped":		allowed
+	"switch":		constrained, userspace should verify dev path
+	"thin":			constrained, requires dm target message from userspace
+	"thin-pool":		constrained, requires dm target message from userspace
+	"verity":		allowed
+	"writecache":		constrained, userspace should verify cache device
+	"zero":			constrained, not meant for rootfs
+
+If the target is not listed above, it is constrained by default (not tested).
+
+Examples
+========
+An example of booting to a linear array made up of user-mode linux block
+devices:
+
+  dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0
+
+This will boot to a rw dm-linear target of 8192 sectors split across two block
+devices identified by their major:minor numbers.  After boot, udev will rename
+this target to /dev/mapper/lroot (depending on the rules). No uuid was assigned.
+
+An example of multiple device-mappers, with the dm-mod.create="..." contents is shown here
+split on multiple lines for readability:
+
+  vroot,,,ro,
+    0 1740800 verity 254:0 254:0 1740800 sha1

+  vram,,,rw,
+    0 32768 linear 1:0 0,
+    32768 32768 linear 1:1 0
