Linus Torvalds d35a878ae1 - A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding
whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache.  The bio-prison-v2
   interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
   work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
   dispatch to the DM cache core.  So the dm-cache policies are much more
   nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit.  One immediate
   benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
   adaptive to changing workloads.
 
 - Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has
   additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity
   information.
 
 - Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target that
   builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target.
 
 - Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update
   the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back
   support.
 
 - Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash crypto
   API (this helps work better with architectures that have access to
   off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU utilization).
 
 - Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
   Bart and Christoph.
 
 - A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
   discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.
 
 - A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
   new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin changes
   to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.
 
 - A couple DM core cleanups.
