Hi Linus, Smaller set of DM changes for this merge. I've based these changes on Jens' for-4.4/reservations branch because the associated DM changes required it. The following changes since commit a6dd1020d8ac55782f3e04856644cf68765f8c1b: nvme: add missing endianess annotations in nvme_pr_command (2015-10-22 09:15:48 -0600) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm tags/dm-4.4-changes for you to fetch changes up to aad9ae4550755edc020b5c511a8b54f0104b2f47: dm switch: simplify conditional in alloc_region_table() (2015-10-31 19:06:06 -0400) Please pull, thanks. Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Revert a dm-multipath change that caused a regression for unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a multipath device had no available paths. - Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add support for passing through persistent reservations with DM multipath. - All other changes are very simple cleanups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Christoph Hellwig (2): dm: refactor ioctl handling dm: add support for passing through persistent reservations Julia Lawall (1): dm: drop NULL test before kmem_cache_destroy() and mempool_destroy() Mauricio Faria de Oliveira (1): Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls" Mikulas Patocka (4): dm: initialize non-blk-mq queue data before queue is used dm: convert ffs to __ffs dm: eliminate unused "bioset" process for each bio-based DM device dm persistent data: eliminate unnecessary return values Tomohiro Kusumi (5): dm linear: remove redundant target name from error messages dm delay: Use DM_MAPIO macros instead of open-coded equivalents dm delay: capitalize the start of an delay_ctr() error message dm delay: document that offsets are specified in sectors dm switch: simplify conditional in alloc_region_table() Documentation/device-mapper/delay.txt | 1 + drivers/md/dm-bufio.c | 18 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 8 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-cleaner.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-mq.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c | 3 +- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 6 +- drivers/md/dm-delay.c | 7 +- drivers/md/dm-era-target.c | 15 +- drivers/md/dm-exception-store.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-flakey.c | 16 +- drivers/md/dm-io.c | 3 +- drivers/md/dm-linear.c | 20 +- drivers/md/dm-log-userspace-base.c | 3 +- drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c | 13 +- drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 34 ++-- drivers/md/dm-region-hash.c | 6 +- drivers/md/dm-snap-persistent.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-switch.c | 25 ++- drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.c | 16 +- drivers/md/dm-verity.c | 15 +- drivers/md/dm.c | 209 ++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-array.c | 4 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-block-manager.c | 4 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-block-manager.h | 2 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-internal.h | 2 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c | 36 +--- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-spine.c | 20 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree.c | 4 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-common.c | 32 ++-- .../md/persistent-data/dm-transaction-manager.c | 4 +- .../md/persistent-data/dm-transaction-manager.h | 2 +- include/linux/device-mapper.h | 6 +- include/uapi/linux/dm-ioctl.h | 4 +- 35 files changed, 333 insertions(+), 215 deletions(-) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
