Pull device-mapper changes from Mike Snitzer: "A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space. A new 'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to error IOs rather than queue them when either the data or metadata space is exhausted. Additional fixes/features include: - a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing - a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to be released before destroying the device - old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation - new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted to the cache (fast) device - improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining userspace flush and mark requests" * tag 'dm-3.14-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (35 commits) dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests dm space map metadata: fix bug in resizing of thin metadata dm cache: add policy name to status output dm thin: fix pool feature parsing dm sysfs: fix a module unload race dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetch dm snapshot: use dm-bufio dm snapshot: prepare for switch to using dm-bufio dm snapshot: use GFP_KERNEL when initializing exceptions dm cache: add block sizes and total cache blocks to status output dm btree: add dm_btree_find_lowest_key dm space map metadata: fix extending the space map dm space map common: make sure new space is used during extend dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device dm: remove pointless kobject comparison in dm_get_from_kobject dm snapshot: call destroy_work_on_stack() to pair with INIT_WORK_ONSTACK() dm cache policy mq: introduce three promotion threshold tunables dm cache policy mq: use list_del_init instead of list_del + INIT_LIST_HEAD dm thin: fix set_pool_mode exposed pool operation races dm thin: eliminate the no_free_space flag ...
