version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block devices with a zoned device to ease performance impact associated with finite random zones of zoned device. Changes came in 3 batches: first prepared for and then added the ability to pair a single regular block device, second was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional regular block device to allow many devices. Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added. - Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller logical_block_size than a block device supports. Primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte logical_block_size and 4KB physical_block_size. This is useful to some legacy applications otherwise wouldn't be ablee to be used on 4K devices because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte granularity. - Add discard interfaces to DM bufio. First consumer of the interface is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio. - Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate logic_block_size. - Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line. - Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use dynamic debug via pr_debug. - Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages "queue_if_no_path" state internally. DM multipath now avoids disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is actually needed (e.g. in response to configure timeout or explicit "fail_if_no_path" message). This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back to userspace application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe backend. Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with debugging queue_if_no_path in the future. - Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector. - Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error. - Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit cache flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small cleanup to remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim. - Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM integrity. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFHBAABCAAxFiEEJfWUX4UqZ4x1O2wixSPxCi2dA1oFAl7alrgTHHNuaXR6ZXJA cmVkaGF0LmNvbQAKCRDFI/EKLZ0DWl42B/9sBd+j60emy4Bliu/f3pd7SEkFrSXv K2jXicRFx4E5kO0aLK+fX65cOiq2vvLsDh8c++0TLXcD9q7oK0qxK9c8TCPq29Cx W2J2dwdjyyqqbr3/FZHYYM9KLOl5rsxJLygXwhJhQ2Gny44L7nVACrAXNzXIHJ3r f8xr+GLdF/jz7WLj8bwEDo3Bf8wvxDvl2ijqj7EceOhTutNE8xHQ6UcTPqTtozJy sNM8UQNk1L43DBAvXfrKZ+yQ5DYAKdXKJpV9C8qv5DEGbaEikuMrHddgO4KlDdp4 VjPk9GSfPwGcJ4ecN8vgecZVGvh52ZU7OZ8qey/q0zqps74jeHTZQQyM =jRun -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-5.8/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - The largest change for this cycle is the DM zoned target's metadata version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block devices with a zoned device to ease the performance impact associated with finite random zones of zoned device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
