Merge tag 'dm-3.15-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size

 - Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache

 - Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
   error path

 - Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
   metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
   successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
   persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
   dm-era).

 - Various small cleanups in the DM core

 - Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
   blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
   'era'.  Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup
   software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to
   restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.

 - Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the
   dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a
   per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.
   The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple
   threads improved by ~70%.

 - Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
   requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
   internally.
