Hi Linus,

Seems you haven't pulled my 'for-5.2/dm-changes' tag from earlier this
week so I've added 4 additional simple commits to this v2 pull.

(Last commit being trivial janitor patch but I'm being hen-pecked about
it by the author on LKML so figured I'd include it while getting you the
3 additional substantive fixes).

The following changes since commit dc4060a5dc2557e6b5aa813bf5b73677299d62d2:

  Linux 5.1-rc5 (2019-04-14 15:17:41 -0700)

are available in the Git repository at:

  dm: fix a couple brace coding style issues (2019-05-16 10:09:21 -0400)

Please pull, thanks!
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Improve DM snapshot target's scalability by using finer grained
  locking.  Requires some list_bl interface improvements.

- Add ability for DM integrity to use a bitmap mode, that tracks regions
  where data and metadata are out of sync, instead of using a journal.

- Improve DM thin provisioning target to not write metadata changes to
  disk if the thin-pool and associated thin devices are merely
  activated but not used.  This avoids metadata corruption due to
  concurrent activation of thin devices across different OS instances
  (e.g. split brain scenarios, which ultimately would be avoided if
  proper device filters were used -- but not having proper filtering has
  proven a very common configuration mistake)

- Fix missing call to path selector type->end_io in DM multipath.  This
  fixes reported performance problems due to inaccurate path selector IO
  accounting causing an imbalance of IO (e.g. avoiding issuing IO to
  particular path due to it seemingly being heavily used).

- Fix bug in DM cache metadata's loading of its discard bitset that
  could lead to all cache blocks being discarded if the very first cache
  block was discarded (thankfully in practice the first cache block is
  generally in use; be it FS superblock, partition table, disk label,
  etc).

- Add testing-only DM dust target which simulates a device that has
  failing sectors and/or read failures.

- Fix a DM init error path reference count hang that caused boot hangs
  if user supplied malformed input on kernel commandline.

- Fix a couple issues with DM crypt target's logging being overly
  verbose or lacking context.

- Various other small fixes to DM init, DM multipath, DM zoned, and DM
  crypt.
