4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Pittman <jpittman@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit af9313c32c0fa2a0ac3b113669273833d60cc9de ] More than one io_mode feature can be requested when creating a dm cache device (as is: last one wins). The io_mode selections are incompatible with one another, we should force them to be selected exclusively. Add a counter to check for more than one io_mode selection.
