- DM core passthrough ioctl fix to retain reference to DM table, and
that table's block devices, while issuing the ioctl to one of those
block devices.
- DM core passthrough ioctl fix to _not_ override the fmode_t used to
issue the ioctl. Overriding by using the fmode_t that the block
device was originally open with during DM table load is a liability.
- Add DM core support for secure erase forwarding and update the DM
linear and DM striped targets to support them.
- A DM core 4.16 stable fix to allow abnormal IO (e.g. discard, write
same, write zeroes) for targets that make use of the non-splitting IO
variant (as is done for multipath or thinp when layered directly on
NVMe).
- Allow DM targets to return a payload in response to a DM message that
they are sent. This is useful for DM targets that would like to
provide statistics data in response to DM messages.
- Update DM bufio to support non-power-of-2 block sizes. Numerous other
related changes prepare the DM bufio code for this support.
- Fix DM crypt to use a bounded amount of memory across the entire
system. This is to avoid OOM that can otherwise occur in response to
certain pathological IO workloads (e.g. discarding a large DM crypt
device).
- Add a 'check_at_most_once' feature to the DM verity target to allow
verity to be used on mobile devices that have very limited resources.
- Fix the DM integrity target to fail early if a keyed algorithm
(e.g. HMAC) is to be used but the key isn't set.
- Add non-power-of-2 support to the DM unstripe target.
- Eliminate the use of a Variable Length Array in the DM stripe target.
- Update the DM log-writes target to record metadata (REQ_META flag).
- DM raid fixes for its nosync status and some variable range issues.
dm: remove fmode_t argument from .prepare_ioctl hook
Use the fmode_t that is passed to dm_blk_ioctl() rather than
inconsistently (varies across targets) drop it on the floor by
overriding it with the fmode_t stored in 'struct dm_dev'.
All the persistent reservation functions weren't using the fmode_t they
got back from .prepare_ioctl so remove them.
