Linus Torvalds 140dfc9299 - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet
performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
   distributed filesystem.  Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to
   aggregate IO that will be issued to the same thinp block before
   issuing IO to the underlying devices.  This really helps improve
   performance on HW RAID6 devices that have a writeback cache because it
   avoids RMW in the HW RAID controller.
 
 - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
   enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
   information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
   dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.
 
 - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes
 
 - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.
 
 - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
   (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison.  This allows for
   much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g. when mkfs.xfs
   discards the entire device).
 
 - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups
 
 - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
   suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
   suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
   suspend/resume.  This avoids forcing userspace to track all active
   thin volumes in a thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the
   purposes of metadata or data space resize.
