From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 21:21:15 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Merge tag 'for-4.12/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git... X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~5578 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dac94e29110cd606dec37673644caf2cf6fd1dde;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git 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. * tag 'for-4.12/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm cache: handle kmalloc failure allocating background_tracker struct dm bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long dm mpath: multipath_clone_and_map must not return -EIO dm mpath: don't return -EIO from dm_report_EIO dm rq: add a missing break to map_request dm space map disk: fix some book keeping in the disk space map dm thin metadata: call precommit before saving the roots dm cache policy smq: don't do any writebacks unless IDLE dm cache: simplify the IDLE vs BUSY state calculation dm cache: track all IO to the cache rather than just the origin device's IO dm cache policy smq: stop preemptively demoting blocks dm cache policy smq: put newly promoted entries at the top of the multiqueue dm cache policy smq: be more aggressive about triggering a writeback dm cache policy smq: only demote entries in bottom half of the clean multiqueue dm cache: fix incorrect 'idle_time' reset in IO tracker --- dac94e29110cd606dec37673644caf2cf6fd1dde
