Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
  idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
  and cleanups.

  There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
  interfaces, all straightforward and acked.

  Features:

   - fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
     read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity

   - idmapped mount support

   - make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
     trees

   - allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
     degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
     conversion to other profiles

   - zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob

  Performance improvements:

   - continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
     memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)

   - batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files

   - fsync/tree-log speedups
       - avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
         sample load)
       - reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
         up to -30% latency)

  Fixes:

   - various zoned mode fixes

   - preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
     almost full filesystems

  Core:

   - continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
     features like compression and defragmentation; with some
     limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
     sectors, still considered experimental
       - no readahead on compressed reads
       - inline extents disabled
       - disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount

   - improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads

   - inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
     incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity

   - new tree items for fs-verity
       - descriptor item
       - Merkle tree item

   - inode operations extended to be namespace-aware

   - cleanups and refactoring

  Generic code changes:

   - fs: new export filemap_fdatawrite_wbc

   - fs: removed sync_inode

   - block: bio_trim argument type fixups

   - vfs: add namespace-aware lookup"

<content type='text'>
Add a per-cpu bio_set cache for bio allocations, enabling us to quickly
recycle them instead of going through the slab allocator. This cache
isn't IRQ safe, and hence is only really suitable for polled IO.

Very simple - keeps a count of bio's in the cache, and maintains a max
of 512 with a slack of 64. If we get above max + slack, we drop slack
number of bio's.

The function bio_trim has offset and size arguments that are declared
as int.

The callers of this function use sector_t type when passing the offset
and size, e.g. drivers/md/raid1.c:narrow_write_error() and
drivers/md/raid1.c:narrow_write_error().

Change offset and size arguments to sector_t type for bio_trim(). Also,
add WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch their overflow.

Move the block holder code into a separate file as it is not in any way
related to the other block_dev.c code, and add a new selectable config
option for it so that we don't have to build it without any remapped
drivers selected.

The Kconfig symbol contains a _DEPRECATED suffix to match the comments
added in commit 49731baa41df

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
   benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.

 - A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.

 - Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
   changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
   required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).

 - Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds an
   optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged with
   REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
   ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
   working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
   ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.

* tag 'for-5.14/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (35 commits)
  dm writecache: make writeback pause configurable
  dm writecache: pause writeback if cache full and origin being written directly
  dm io tracker: factor out IO tracker
  dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds
  dm zone: fix dm_revalidate_zones() memory allocation
  dm ps io affinity: remove redundant continue statement
  dm writecache: add optional "metadata_only" parameter
  dm writecache: add "cleaner" and "max_age" to Documentation
  dm writecache: write at least 4k when committing
  dm writecache: flush origin device when writing and cache is full
  dm writecache: have ssd writeback wait if the kcopyd workqueue is busy
  dm writecache: use list_move instead of list_del/list_add in writecache_writeback()
  dm writecache: commit just one block, not a full page
  dm writecache: remove unused gfp_t argument from wc_add_block()
  dm crypt: Fix zoned block device support
  dm: introduce zone append emulation
  dm: rearrange core declarations for extended use from dm-zone.c
  block: introduce BIO_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED bio flag
  block: introduce bio zone helpers
  block: improve handling of all zones reset operation

With the legacy IDE driver gone drivers now use either REQ_OP_DRV_*
or REQ_OP_SCSI_*, so unify the two concepts of passthrough requests
into a single one.
