Hi Linus, I rebased the DM tree ontop of linux-block.git's 'for-3.18/core' at the beginning of October because DM core now depends on the newly introduced bioset_create_nobvec() interface. The following changes since commit d8f429e1669b9709f5b669aac9d734dbe0640891: block: add bioset_create_nobvec() (2014-10-03 15:28:18 -0600) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/dm-3.18 for you to fetch changes up to 56ec16cb1e1ce46354de8511eef962a417c32c92: dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path (2014-10-05 20:03:38 -0400) Please pull, thanks. Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- . fix DM's long-standing excessive use of memory by leveraging the new bioset_create_nobvec() interface when creating the DM's bioset . fix a few bugs in dm-bufio and dm-log-userspace . add DM core support for a DM multipath use-case that requires loading DM tables that contain devices that have failed (by allowing active and inactive DM tables to share dm_devs) . add discard support to the DM raid target; like MD raid456 the user must opt-in to raid456 discard support be specifying the devices_handle_discard_safely=Y module param. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alexey Khoroshilov (1): dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path Benjamin Marzinski (2): dm mpath: stop queueing IO when no valid paths exist dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devs Heinz Mauelshagen (2): dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 1 and 10 dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 4, 5 and 6 Joe Thornber (1): dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer Junichi Nomura (2): dm: remove nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio() dm: use bioset_create_nobvec() Mikulas Patocka (1): dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately drivers/md/dm-bufio.c | 5 +- drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-log-userspace-transfer.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 4 +- drivers/md/dm-raid.c | 60 +++++++++++++- drivers/md/dm-table.c | 102 ++++++++--------------- drivers/md/dm.c | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/md/dm.h | 5 +- include/uapi/linux/dm-ioctl.h | 4 +- 9 files changed, 238 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
