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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJaxjrCAAoJEMUj8QotnQNaEW8IAMeb6dWbxBgCleafK7GV5I0B jdm6NWDGoGrhz5TyZXbd6pLXD6fbU51O2Jn/LyQ7KOY1lRlS66TBprR60gNyzPQn bQVVEbKnSMwNAnkVpStiVZSs2e9HyNIRsM0yvwZXPfcVw6Q8XttiJQHRdGu4A5jm i+/aoyAf1iJowe5ituyE569gFGnOzPmesKZoF2/A36ik3yq3HF4FR0IPxWKseSpt gCeGTPpBv3aRonRBDxT9uOwb3SXC8TGrStRLm1I6UFwmHKs7nWx/o/P1ghbSOgSt Gu+GdoXnG5qtzAZ1t3sR2Iw3zEmpO1t5Jht5VqR7T+1145DaoPkW5M8vyjHll5o= =H7V5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-4.17/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - 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.
