Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer: "A set of device-mapper changes for 3.13. Improve reliability of buffer allocations for dm messages with a small number of arguments, a couple path group initialization fixes for dm multipath, a fix for resizing a dm array, various fixes and optimizations for dm cache, a fix for device mapper's Kconfig menu indentation. Features added include: - dm crypt support for activating legacy CBC TrueCrypt containers (useful for forensics of these old TCRYPT containers) - reduced dm-cache memory requirements for each block in the cache - basic support for shrinking a dm-cache's cache (fast) device - most notably, dm-cache support for managing cache coherency when deploying dm-cache with sophisticated origin volumes (that support hardware snapshots and/or clustering): these changes come in the form of a new passthrough operation mode and a cache block invalidation interface" * tag 'dm-3.13-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (32 commits) dm cache: resolve small nits and improve Documentation dm cache: add cache block invalidation support dm cache: add remove_cblock method to policy interface dm cache policy mq: reduce memory requirements dm cache metadata: check the metadata version when reading the superblock dm cache: add passthrough mode dm cache: cache shrinking support dm cache: promotion optimisation for writes dm cache: be much more aggressive about promoting writes to discarded blocks dm cache policy mq: implement writeback_work() and mq_{set,clear}_dirty() dm cache: optimize commit_if_needed dm space map disk: optimise sm_disk_dec_block MAINTAINERS: add reference to device-mapper's linux-dm.git tree dm: fix Kconfig menu indentation dm: allow remove to be deferred dm table: print error on preresume failure dm crypt: add TCW IV mode for old CBC TCRYPT containers dm crypt: properly handle extra key string in initialization dm cache: log error message if dm_kcopyd_copy() fails dm cache: use cell_defer() boolean argument consistently ...
