Hi Linus, The following changes since commit 2ea659a9ef488125eb46da6eb571de5eae5c43f6: Linux 4.12-rc1 (2017-05-13 13:19:49 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/for-4.12/dm-fixes-2 for you to fetch changes up to 7e1b9521f5a8356553f5e58b07952bf346632ea4: dm cache: handle kmalloc failure allocating background_tracker struct (2017-05-17 09:44:53 -0400) Please pull, thanks. Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- - A couple DM thin provisioning fixes - A few request-based DM and DM multipath fixes for issues that were made when merging Christoph's changes with Bart's changes for 4.12 - A DM bufio unsigned overflow fix - A couple pure fixes for the DM cache target. - Various very small tweaks to the DM cache target that enable considerable speed improvements in the face of continuous IO. Given that the cache target was significantly reworked for 4.12 I see no reason to sit on these advances until 4.13 considering the favorable results associated with such minimalist tweaks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Christoph Hellwig (3): dm rq: add a missing break to map_request dm mpath: don't return -EIO from dm_report_EIO dm mpath: multipath_clone_and_map must not return -EIO Colin Ian King (1): dm cache: handle kmalloc failure allocating background_tracker struct Joe Thornber (10): dm cache: fix incorrect 'idle_time' reset in IO tracker dm cache policy smq: only demote entries in bottom half of the clean multiqueue dm cache policy smq: be more aggressive about triggering a writeback dm cache policy smq: put newly promoted entries at the top of the multiqueue dm cache policy smq: stop preemptively demoting blocks dm cache: track all IO to the cache rather than just the origin device's IO dm cache: simplify the IDLE vs BUSY state calculation dm cache policy smq: don't do any writebacks unless IDLE dm thin metadata: call precommit before saving the roots dm space map disk: fix some book keeping in the disk space map Mikulas Patocka (1): dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long drivers/md/dm-bufio.c | 16 ++++++------- drivers/md/dm-cache-background-tracker.c | 5 +++++ drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c | 31 ++++++++++---------------- drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c | 27 +++++++++++----------- drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 19 +++++++++------- drivers/md/dm-rq.c | 1 + drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.c | 4 ++-- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-space-map-disk.c | 15 ++++++++++++- 8 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
