Merge tag 'dm-3.17-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer: - Allow the thin target to paired with any size external origin; also allow thin snapshots to be larger than the external origin. - Add support for quickly loading a repetitive pattern into the dm-switch target. - Use per-bio data in the dm-crypt target instead of always using a mempool for each allocation. Required switching to kmalloc alignment for the bio slab. - Fix DM core to properly stack the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag - Fix the dm-cache and dm-thin targets' export of the minimum_io_size to match the data block size -- this fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs would improperly infer raid striping was in place on the underlying storage. - Small cleanups in dm-io, dm-mpath and dm-cache * tag 'dm-3.17-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm table: propagate QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE dm switch: efficiently support repetitive patterns dm switch: factor out switch_region_table_read dm cache: set minimum_io_size to cache's data block size dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block size dm crypt: use per-bio data block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slab dm table: make dm_table_supports_discards static dm cache metadata: use dm-space-map-metadata.h defined size limits dm cache: fail migrations in the do_worker error path dm cache: simplify deferred set reference count increments dm thin: relax external origin size constraints dm thin: switch to an atomic_t for tracking pending new block preparations dm mpath: eliminate pg_ready() wrapper dm io: simplify dec_count and sync_io
