[git pull] device mapper changes for 4.7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Linus,

These DM changes are based ontop of Jens' block 'for-4.7/core'.  I
merged block 'for-4.7/core' because these 4.7 DM changes build on
4.6-rc4 DM changes (albeit minimally) -- yet block 'for-4.7/core' is
based on 4.6-rc3.  If I were to just base my DM 4.7 changes directly on
block's 'for-4.7/core' then DM commit 072623de1f from v4.6-rc4 would
need a post-merge fix to drop the extra 'ti->md' argument from
dm.c:__clone_and_map_data_bio()'s call to free_tio().

Please let me know if you want this situation handled differently now
(and/or in the future).  If not now, then:

The following changes since commit ef1d88ced108df7d652cf3f514b920e661826b71:

  Merge remote-tracking branch 'jens/for-4.7/core' into dm-4.7 (2016-05-05 15:21:14 -0400)

  dm thin: unroll issue_discard() to create longer discard bio chains (2016-05-13 09:04:20 -0400)

Please pull, thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
- based on Jens' 'for-4.7/core' to have DM thinp's discard support use
  bio_inc_remaining() and the block core's new async
  __blkdev_issue_discard() interface

- make DM multipath's fast code-paths lockless, using lockless_deference,
  to significantly improve large NUMA performance when using blk-mq.  The
  m->lock spinlock contention was a serious bottleneck.

- a few other small code cleanups and Documentation fixes

----------------------------------------------------------------
Amitoj Kaur Chawla (1):
      dm thin: Remove return statement from void function

Eric Engestrom (1):
      dm stats: fix spelling mistake in Documentation

Heinz Mauelshagen (1):
      dm raid: make sure no feature flags are set in metadata

Joe Thornber (1):
      dm thin: unroll issue_discard() to create longer discard bio chains

Michal Hocko (1):
      dm ioctl: drop use of __GFP_REPEAT in copy_params()'s __vmalloc() call

Mike Snitzer (8):
      dm: remove unused mapped_device argument from free_tio()
      dm mpath: switch to using bitops for state flags
      dm mpath: use atomic_t for counting members of 'struct multipath'
      dm mpath: move trigger_event member to the end of 'struct multipath'
      dm mpath: eliminate use of spinlock in IO fast-paths
      dm cache: update cache-policies.txt now that mq is an alias for smq
      dm thin: remove __bio_inc_remaining() and switch to using bio_inc_remaining()
      dm thin: use __blkdev_issue_discard for async discard support
