fix bio splitting for bios that were deferred to the worker thread due to a DM device being suspended. - Remove DM core's special handling of NVMe devices now that block core has internalized efficiencies drivers previously needed to be concerned about (via now removed direct_make_request). - Fix request-based DM to not bounce through indirect dm_submit_bio; instead have block core make direct call to blk_mq_submit_bio(). - Various DM core cleanups to simplify and improve code. - Update DM cryot to not use drivers that set CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY. - Fix DM raid's raid1 and raid10 discard limits for the purposes of linux-stable. But then remove DM raid's discard limits settings now that MD raid can efficiently handle large discards. - A couple small cleanups across various targets. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFHBAABCAAxFiEEJfWUX4UqZ4x1O2wixSPxCi2dA1oFAl+Fx1gTHHNuaXR6ZXJA cmVkaGF0LmNvbQAKCRDFI/EKLZ0DWk5iB/9pONYmtfQ5oBx4jg/PU8cVYYIfOtwS ZtItFbw7T9bkHVZ8d4hDr5LTq898cADuRD5edlR82gDOcXkiJlb5PqU39RoOTVvF Xz87sWzHdGAK7rdnCMAc2hiX3oQOje9o7NxGeGQ/uPaNU+U/vJS0AZtEAwltocBd j9MGESddBC636Gzbg5C0c0frikXd0am6qp6SCYJNpP5I0G2beHk2YX5Jqt9c7zMk 8kyQend5b5RvkPNWTAjkVfWUsIjwYHh6MF48ZoGvD0X3lWjIBiwyxC0UX5hSXq63 kB+nqxbXcvQLEBtJuDZ2bjyvrwzCVLpmfgLgzxOOU8fI5Q2U0zpsPaa0 =6YDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-5.10/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Improve DM core's bio splitting to use blk_max_size_offset().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
