<content type='text'>
DM multipath is the only dm-mq target.  But that aside, request-based DM
only supports tables with a single target that is immutable.  Leverage
this fact in dm_mq_queue_rq() by using the 'immutable_target' stored in
the mapped_device when the table was made active.  This saves the need
to even take the read-side of the SRCU via dm_{get,put}_live_table.

If the active DM table does not have an immutable target (e.g. "error"
target was swapped in) then fallback to the slow-path where the target
is looked up from the live table.

<title>dm: set DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature on "error" target</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f083b09b7819c785db4f82a81f68da3bccfb04bf</id>
<content type='text'>
The DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature indicates that the "error" target may
replace any target; even immutable targets.  This feature will be useful
to preserve the ability to replace the "multipath" target even once it
is formally converted over to having the DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE feature.

Also, implicit in the DM_TARGET_WILDCARD feature flag being set is that
.map, .map_rq, .clone_and_map_rq and .release_clone_rq are all defined
in the target_type.

<title>block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=25520d55cdb6ee289abc68f553d364d22478ff54'/>
<id>urn:sha1:25520d55cdb6ee289abc68f553d364d22478ff54</id>
<content type='text'>
Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.

This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.

Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:

 - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.

 - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.

 - Removing the dynamic allocation code.

 - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
   the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.

 - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
   pages bdi setting.

 - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
   not now key off of the bi-&gt;profile pointer.

 - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

<title>block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits mask</title>

<id>urn:sha1:03100aada96f0645bbcb89aea24c01f02d0ef1fa</id>
<content type='text'>
The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against
PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch
adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow
requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check
takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around
invoking this function.

This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and
all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through
blk_stack_limits().

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its
own -&gt;merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 5f1b670d0bef508a5554d92525f5f6d00d640b38.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq-&gt;__sector and rq-&gt;bio) will cause silent data
corruption:

Do not allocate the io_pool mempool for blk-mq request-based DM
(DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED) in dm_alloc_rq_mempools().

Also refine __bind_mempools() to have more precise awareness of which
mempools each type of DM device uses -- avoids mempool churn when
reloading DM tables (particularly for DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED).
