2f12d44085 - DM multipath locking fixes around m->flags tests and improvements to
bio-based code so that it follows patterns established by
   request-based code.
 
 - Request-based DM core improvement to eliminate unnecessary call to
   blk_mq_queue_stopped().
 
 - Add "panic_on_corruption" error handling mode to DM verity target.
 
 - DM bufio fix to to perform buffer cleanup from a workqueue rather
   than wait for IO in reclaim context from shrinker.
 
 - DM crypt improvement to optionally avoid async processing via
   workqueues for reads and/or writes -- via "no_read_workqueue" and
   "no_write_workqueue" features.  This more direct IO processing
   improves latency and throughput with faster storage.  Avoiding
   workqueue IO submission for writes (DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE) is
   a requirement for adding zoned block device support to DM crypt.
 
 - Add zoned block device support to DM crypt.  Makes use of
   DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE and a new optional feature
   (DM_CRYPT_WRITE_INLINE) that allows write completion to wait for
   encryption to complete.  This allows write ordering to be preserved,
   which is needed for zoned block devices.
 
 - Fix DM ebs target's check for REQ_OP_FLUSH.
 
 - Fix DM core's report zones support to not report more zones than
   were requested.
 
 - A few small compiler warning fixes.
 
 - DM dust improvements to return output directly to the user rather
   than require they scrape the system log for output.

  - Some block-mq documentation
 
  - More RST conversions from Mauro.  At this point, that task is

6f3bc22bf5 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: LVM
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

bd5c40313a dm zoned: metadata version 2
Implement handling for metadata version 2. The new metadata adds a
label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for
the underlying block devices.

It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for
emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed
logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing
the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device.

The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold
another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation
number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.

d537858ac8 dm integrity: fix excessive alignment of metadata runs
Metadata runs are supposed to be aligned on 4k boundary (so that they work
efficiently with disks with 4k sectors). However, there was a programming
bug that makes them aligned on 128k boundary instead. The unused space is
wasted.

Fix this bug by providing a proper 4k alignment. In order to keep
existing volumes working, we introduce a new flag SB_FLAG_FIXED_PADDING
- when the flag is clear, we calculate the padding the old way. In order
to make sure that the old version cannot mount the volume created by the
new version, we increase superblock version to 4.

Also in order to not break with old integritysetup, we fix alignment
only if the parameter "fix_padding" is present when formatting the
device.

99273d9e6e dm raid: to ensure resynchronization, perform raid set grow in preresume
This fixes a flaw causing raid set extensions not to be synchronized
in case the MD bitmap resize required additional pages to be allocated.

Also share resize code in the raid constructor between
new size changes and those occuring during recovery.

Bump the target version to define the change and document
it in Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-raid.rst.

0a6f33dba4 dm dust: convert documentation to ReST
Convert the dm-dust documentation to ReST formatting, using literal
blocks for all of the shell command, shell output, and log output
examples.

Add dm-dust to index.rst.

Additionally, fix an annotation in the "querying for specific bad
blocks" section, on the "queryblock ... not found in badblocklist"
example, to properly state that the message appears when a given
block is not found.

7431b7835f dm: add clone target
Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.

dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.

The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.

When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.

For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst

88cd3e6cfa dm verity: add root hash pkcs#7 signature verification
The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured
by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies.

One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after
boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume
has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be
used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be
created.

The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash
and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed.

The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed
to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification.

Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root
hash verification is needed.

Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will
indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm
verity volumes).
