Linus Torvalds 8374cfe647 Merge tag 'for-6.0/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Refactor DM core's mempool allocation so that it clearer by not being
   split acorss files.

 - Improve DM core's BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE and BLK_STS_AGAIN handling.

 - Optimize DM core's more common bio splitting by eliminating the use
   of bio cloning with bio_split+bio_chain. Shift that cloning cost to
   the relatively unlikely dm_io requeue case that only occurs during
   error handling. Introduces dm_io_rewind() that will clone a bio that
   reflects the subset of the original bio that must be requeued.

 - Remove DM core's dm_table_get_num_targets() wrapper and audit all
   dm_table_get_target() callers.

 - Fix potential for OOM with DM writecache target by setting a default
   MAX_WRITEBACK_JOBS (set to 256MiB or 1/16 of total system memory,
   whichever is smaller).

 - Fix DM writecache target's stats that are reported through
   DM-specific table info.

 - Fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback().

 - Refine DM core's Persistent Reservation handling in preparation for
   broader work Mike Christie is doing to add compatibility with
   Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.

 - Fix various KASAN reported bugs in the DM raid target.

 - Fix DM raid target crash due to md_handle_request() bio splitting
   that recurses to block core without properly initializing the bio's
   bi_dev.

 - Fix some code comment typos and fix some Documentation formatting.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
