- A request-based DM fix to not use a waitqueue to wait for blk-mq IO
completion because doing so is racey.
- A couple more DM zoned target fixes to address issues introduced
during the 5.8 cycle.
- A DM core fix to use proper interface to cleanup DM's static flush
bio.
- A DM core fix to prevent mm recursion during memory allocation
needed by dm_kobject_uevent.
dm: use noio when sending kobject event
kobject_uevent may allocate memory and it may be called while there are dm
devices suspended. The allocation may recurse into a suspended device,
causing a deadlock. We must set the noio flag when sending a uevent.
The observed deadlock was reported here:
