Merge tag 'for-5.6/dm-changes' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM core's potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer in the
   unlikely case that a DM device is created without a DM table and then
   accessed due to upper-layer userspace code or user error.

 - Fix DM thin-provisioning's metadata_pre_commit_callback to not use
   memory after it is free'd. Also refactor code to disallow changing
   the thin-pool's data device once in use -- doing so guarantees smae
   lifetime of pool's data device relative to the pool metadata.

 - Fix DM space maps used by DM thinp and DM cache to avoid reuse of a
   already used block. This race was identified with extremely heavy
   snapshot use in the context of DM thin provisioning.

 - Fix DM raid's table status relative to an active rebuild.

 - Fix DM crypt to use GFP_NOIO rather than GFP_NOFS in call to
   skcipher_request_alloc(). Also fix benbi IV constructor crash if used
   in authenticated mode.

 - Add DM crypt support for Elephant diffuser to allow for Bitlocker
   compatibility.

 - Fix DM verity target to not prefetch hash blocks for data that has
   already been verified.

 - Fix DM writecache's incorrect flush sequence during commit when in
   SSD mode.

 - Improve DM writecache's sequential write performance on SSDs.

 - Add DM zoned target support for zone sizes smaller than 128MiB.

 - Add DM multipath 'queue_if_no_path_timeout_secs' module param to
   allow timeout if path isn't reinstated. This allows users a kernel
   safety-net against IO hanging indefinitely, due to no active paths,
   that has historically only been provided by multipathd userspace.

 - Various DM code cleanups to use true/false rather than 1/0, a
   variable rename in dm-dust, and fix for a math error in comment for
   DM thin metadata's ondisk format.
