[resending as v3 due to my From: email addr in v2 being inexplicably wrong]

Hi Linus,

I had some miscommunication with Mikulas on his -ENOMEM sleep and retry
changes for dm-crypt and dm-integrity, he no longer thinks them
appropriate: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2020-June/msg00061.html
So I dropped them via rebase and updated the tag (to avoid any
potential for linux-stable churn due to Mikulas' commits having
cc'd linux-stable).  Hope that was the correct way forward...

For the following changes there is one dm-zoned-metadata.c conflict that
linux-next has been carrying for a while.  See commit d77e96f277 ("Merge
remote-tracking branch 'device-mapper/for-next'") from next-20200605.
It resolves conflict from linux-block's commit 9398554fb3 ("block:
remove the_error_sector argument to blkdev_issue_flush").

The following changes since commit 2ef96a5bb12be62ef75b5828c0aab838ebb29cb8:

  dm crypt: avoid truncating the logical block size (2020-06-05 14:59:59 -0400)

Please pull, thanks!
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Largest change for this cycle is the DM zoned target's metadata
  version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block
  devices with a zoned device to ease performance impact associated
  with finite random zones of zoned device.  Changes came in 3
  batches: first prepared for and then added the ability to pair a
  single regular block device, second was a batch of fixes to improve
  zoned's reclaim heuristic, third removed the limitation of only
  adding a single additional regular block device to allow many
  devices.  Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are
  added.

- Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller
  logical_block_size than a block device supports.  Primary use-case
  is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte logical_block_size
  and 4KB physical_block_size.  This is useful to some legacy
  applications otherwise wouldn't be ablee to be used on 4K devices
  because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte granularity.

- Add discard interfaces to DM bufio.  First consumer of the interface
  is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio.

- Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate
  logic_block_size.

- Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line.

- Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use
  dynamic debug via pr_debug.

- Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages
  "queue_if_no_path" state internally.  DM multipath now avoids
  disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is actually needed (e.g. in
  response to configure timeout or explicit "fail_if_no_path"
  message).  This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back
  to userspace application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe
  backend.  Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with
  debugging queue_if_no_path in the future.

- Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector.

- Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error.

- Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit
  cache flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small
  cleanup to remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim.

- Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM integrity.
