Merge tag 'for-4.12/dm-fixes-2' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- 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.
