Merge tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least (max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node". - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data device has a volatile writeback cache. - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity. * tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: docs: dm-integrity: remove reference to ARC4 dm thin: Flush data device before committing metadata dm thin metadata: Add support for a pre-commit callback dm clone: Flush destination device before committing metadata dm clone metadata: Use a two phase commit dm clone metadata: Track exact changes per transaction dm btree: increase rebalance threshold in __rebalance2() dm: add dm-clone to the documentation index dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization
