Hi, This is version 7 of the patch series to introduce block-level provisioning primitives [1]. The current series is rebased on: (2d1bcbc6cd70 Merge tag 'probes-fixes-v6.4-rc1'...). Changelog: v7: - Fold up lo_req_provision() into lo_req_fallocate(). - Propagate error on failure to provision from the blkdev_issue_provision(). - Set 'max_provision_granularity' in thin_ctr. - Fix positioning of 'max_provision_sectors' in pool_ctr. - Add provision bios into process_prepared_mapping() to prevent the bio from being reissued to the underlying thinpool.
