  dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests (2014-01-21 23:46:27 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A set of device-mapper changes for 3.14.

A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's
handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space.  A new
'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to error IOs rather
than queue them when either the data or metadata space is exhausted.

Additional fixes/features include:
- a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
- a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to
  be released before destroying the device
- old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
  advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation
- new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted
  to the cache (fast) device
- improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
  userspace flush and mark requests

----------------------------------------------------------------
Chuansheng Liu (1):
      dm snapshot: call destroy_work_on_stack() to pair with INIT_WORK_ONSTACK()

Dongmao Zhang (1):
      dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests

Joe Thornber (9):
      dm thin: fix discard support to a previously shared block
      dm thin: return error from alloc_data_block if pool is not in write mode
      dm thin: factor out check_low_water_mark and use bools
      dm thin: handle metadata failures more consistently

Mikulas Patocka (9):
      dm table: remove unused buggy code that extends the targets array
      dm delay: use per-bio data instead of a mempool and slab cache
      dm: remove pointless kobject comparison in dm_get_from_kobject
      dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device
      dm snapshot: use GFP_KERNEL when initializing exceptions
      dm snapshot: prepare for switch to using dm-bufio
      dm snapshot: use dm-bufio
      dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetch
