Hi Linus, The following changes since commit 851c9f38e4199adb612366f8e202036d624d5de2: Merge remote-tracking branch 'jens/for-4.1/core' into dm/for-next (2015-03-31 12:00:32 -0400) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm tags/dm-4.1-changes for you to fetch changes up to 44c144f9c8e8fbd73ede2848da8253b3aae42ec2: dm crypt: fix missing error code return from crypt_ctr error path (2015-04-16 22:00:50 -0400) Please pull, thanks. Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Most extensive changes this cycle are the DM core improvements to add full blk-mq support to request-based DM. - disabled by default but user can opt-in with CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT - depends on some blk-mq changes from Jens' for-4.1/core branch so that explains why this pull is built on linux-block.git - Update DM to use name_to_dev_t() rather than open-coding a less capable device parser. - includes a couple small improvements to name_to_dev_t() that offer stricter constraints that DM's code provided. - Improvements to the dm-cache "mq" cache replacement policy. - A DM crypt crypt_ctr() error path fix and an async crypto deadlock fix. - A small efficiency improvement for DM crypt decryption by leveraging immutable biovecs. - Add error handling modes for corrupted blocks to DM verity. - A new "log-writes" DM target from Josef Bacik that is meant for file system developers to test file system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. - A few DM log userspace cleanups and fixes. - A few Documentation fixes (for thin, cache, crypt and switch). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Collins (1): dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY Dan Ehrenberg (3): init: export name_to_dev_t and mark name argument as const init: stricter checking of major:minor root= values dm table: fall back to getting device using name_to_dev_t() Joe Perches (1): dm table: use bool function return values of true/false not 1/0 Joe Thornber (5): dm cache policy mq: keep track of the number of entries in a multiqueue dm cache policy mq: remove queue_shift_down() dm cache policy mq: track entries hit this 'tick' via sentinel objects dm cache policy mq: remove unused generation member of struct entry dm cache policy mq: try not to writeback data that changed in the last second Josef Bacik (1): dm: add log writes target Mike Snitzer (17): dm log userspace: split flush_entry_pool to be per dirty-log dm switch: fix Documentation to use plain text dm: rename __dm_get_reserved_ios() helper to __dm_get_module_param() dm: remove unnecessary wrapper around blk_lld_busy dm: remove request-based DM queue's lld_busy_fn hook dm: remove request-based logic from make_request_fn wrapper dm: only run the queue on completion if congested or no requests pending dm: don't schedule delayed run of the queue if nothing to do dm: reduce the queue delay used in dm_request_fn from 100ms to 10ms dm: don't start current request if it would've merged with the previous dm sysfs: introduce ability to add writable attributes dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq dm: add 'use_blk_mq' module param and expose in per-device ro sysfs attr dm thin: remove stale 'trim' message documentation dm crypt: leverage immutable biovecs when decrypting on read Milan Broz (1): dm crypt: update URLs to new cryptsetup project page Nicholas Mc Guire (3): dm log userspace transfer: match wait_for_completion_timeout return type dm log userspace base: fix compile warning dm delay: use msecs_to_jiffies for time conversion Sami Tolvanen (1): dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks Wei Yongjun (1): dm crypt: fix missing error code return from crypt_ctr error path Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-dm | 22 + Documentation/device-mapper/dm-crypt.txt | 4 +- Documentation/device-mapper/log-writes.txt | 140 ++++ Documentation/device-mapper/switch.txt | 4 +- Documentation/device-mapper/thin-provisioning.txt | 3 - Documentation/device-mapper/verity.txt | 21 +- drivers/md/Kconfig | 27 + drivers/md/Makefile | 1 + drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-mq.c | 251 +++++-- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 25 +- drivers/md/dm-delay.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-log-userspace-base.c | 91 +-- drivers/md/dm-log-userspace-transfer.c | 5 +- drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c | 825 ++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 6 +- drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c | 43 +- drivers/md/dm-table.c | 71 +- drivers/md/dm-verity.c | 147 +++- drivers/md/dm.c | 556 +++++++++++---- drivers/md/dm.h | 10 +- include/linux/device-mapper.h | 5 - include/linux/mount.h | 2 +- include/uapi/linux/dm-ioctl.h | 4 +- init/do_mounts.c | 6 +- 24 files changed, 1928 insertions(+), 343 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/device-mapper/log-writes.txt create mode 100644 drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
