<title>block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.

<title>dm: don't save and restore bi_private</title>

<content type='text'>
Device mapper used the field bi_private to point to dm_target_io. However,
since kernel 3.15, the bi_private field is unused, and so the targets do
not need to save and restore this field.

This patch removes code that saves and restores bi_private from dm-cache,
dm-snapshot and dm-verity.

<title>dm: drop NULL test before kmem_cache_destroy() and mempool_destroy()</title>

Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")
4e3ca3e03 ("mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()")

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@ expression x; @@
-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);

Pull device mapper update from Mike Snitzer:

 - a couple small cleanups in dm-cache, dm-verity, persistent-data's
   dm-btree, and DM core.

 - a 4.1-stable fix for dm-cache that fixes the leaking of deferred bio
   prison cells

 - a 4.2-stable fix that adds feature reporting for the dm-stats
   features added in 4.2

 - improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
   snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
   through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.

 - optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
   splitting has been included in block core.

 - switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
   improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).

 - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

[ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this
  tree, and weren't obviously the right thing to do anyway.  At the very
  least they need some discussion and explanation before getting merged.

  Because not pulling the actual tagged commit but doing a partial pull
  instead, this merge commit thus also obviously is missing the git
  signature from the original tag ]
