    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
    
     - initially based on Jens' 'for-4.8/core' (given all the flag churn)
       and later merged with 'for-4.8/core' to pickup the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
       commits that DM depends on to provide its DAX support
    
     - clean up the bio-based vs request-based DM core code by moving the
       request-based DM core code out to dm-rq.[hc]
    
     - reinstate bio-based support in the DM multipath target (done with the
       idea that fast storage like NVMe over Fabrics could benefit) -- while
       preserving support for request_fn and blk-mq request-based DM mpath
    
     - SCSI and DM multipath persistent reservation fixes that were
       coordinated with Martin Petersen.
    
     - the DM raid target saw the most extensive change this cycle; it now
       provides reshape and takeover support (by layering ontop of the
       corresponding MD capabilities)
    
     - DAX support for DM core and the linear, stripe and error targets
    
     - a DM thin-provisioning block discard vs allocation race fix that
       addresses potential for corruption
    
     - a stable fix for DM verity-fec's block calculation during decode
    
     - a few cleanups and fixes to DM core and various targets
