- Fix an uninitialized variable false warning in dm bufio
- Fix DM's passthrough ioctl support to be race free against an
underlying device being removed.
- Fix corner-case of DM raid resync reporting if/when the raid becomes
degraded during resync; otherwise automated raid repair will fail.
- A few DM multipath fixes to make non-SCSI optimizations, that were
introduced during the 4.16 merge, useful for all non-SCSI devices,
rather than narrowly define this non-SCSI mode in terms of "nvme".
This allows the removal of "queue_mode nvme" that really didn't need
to be introduced. Instead DM core will internalize whether
nvme-specific IO submission optimizations are doable and DM multipath
will only do SCSI-specific device handler operations if SCSI is in
use.
dm table: allow upgrade from bio-based to specialized bio-based variant
In practice this is really only meaningful in the context of the DM
multipath target (which uses dm_table_set_type() to set the type of
device DM should create via its "queue_mode" option).
So this change allows a DM multipath device with "queue_mode bio" to be
upgraded from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED -- iff the
underlying device(s) are NVMe.
DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED is just a DM core implementation detail that
allows for NVMe-specific optimizations (e.g. use direct_make_request
instead of generic_make_request). If in the future there is no benefit
or need to distinguish NVMe vs not: then it will be removed.
