Merge tag 'for-5.8/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- The largest change for this cycle is the DM zoned target's metadata
version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block devices
with a zoned device to ease the performance impact associated with
finite random zones of zoned device.
The changes came in three batches: the first prepared for and then
added the ability to pair a single regular block device, the second
was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, and the
third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional
regular block device to allow many devices.
Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added.
- Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller
logical_block_size than a block device supports
The primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte
logical_block_size and 4KB physical_block_size. This is useful to
some legacy applications that otherwise wouldn't be able to be used
on 4K devices because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte
granularity.
- Add discard interfaces to DM bufio. First consumer of the interface
is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio.
- Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate
logic_block_size.
- Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line.
- Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use
dynamic debug via pr_debug.
- Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages
"queue_if_no_path" state internally.
DM multipath now avoids disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is
actually needed (e.g. in response to configure timeout or explicit
"fail_if_no_path" message).
This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back to userspace
application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe backend.
Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with debugging
queue_if_no_path in the future.
- Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector.
- Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error.
- Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit cache
flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small cleanup to
remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim.
- Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM
integrity.
