Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Document DM integrity allow_discard feature that was added during 5.7
   merge window.

 - Fix potential for DM writecache data corruption during DM table
   reloads.

 - Fix DM verity's FEC support's hash block number calculation in
   verity_fec_decode().

 - Fix bio-based DM multipath crash due to use of stale copy of
   MPATHF_QUEUE_IO flag state in __map_bio().

* tag 'for-5.7/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm multipath: use updated MPATHF_QUEUE_IO on mapping for bio-based mpath
  dm verity fec: fix hash block number in verity_fec_decode
  dm writecache: fix data corruption when reloading the target

allow_discards
Allow block discard requests (a.k.a. TRIM) for the integrity device.
Discards are only allowed to devices using internal hash.
The journal mode (D/J), buffer_sectors, journal_watermark, commit_time can
be changed when reloading the target (load an inactive table and swap the
tables with suspend and resume). The other arguments should not be changed
when reloading the target because the layout of disk data depend on them
and the reloaded target would be non-functional.
