Changes made during the 5.6 cycle warrant bumping the version number
for DM core and the targets modified by this commit.

It should be noted that dm-thin, dm-crypt and dm-raid already had
their target version bumped during the 5.6 merge window.

<title>dm cache: fix a crash due to incorrect work item cancelling</title>

The crash can be reproduced by running the lvm2 testsuite test
lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh for several minutes, e.g.:
  while :; do make check T=shell/lvconvert-thin-external-cache.sh; done

The crash happens in this call chain:
do_waker -&gt; policy_tick -&gt; smq_tick -&gt; end_hotspot_period -&gt; clear_bitset
-&gt; memset -&gt; __memset -- which accesses an invalid pointer in the vmalloc
area.

The work entry on the workqueue is executed even after the bitmap was
freed. The problem is that cancel_delayed_work doesn't wait for the
running work item to finish, so the work item can continue running and
re-submitting itself even after cache_postsuspend. In order to make sure
that the work item won't be running, we must use cancel_delayed_work_sync.

Also, change flush_workqueue to drain_workqueue, so that if some work item
submits itself or another work item, we are properly waiting for both of
them.

<title>dm cache: replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock_irq</title>

If we are in a place where it is known that interrupts are enabled,
functions spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq should be used instead of
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore.

spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq are faster because they don't need to
push and pop the flags register.

<title>dm cache: fix bugs when a GFP_NOWAIT allocation fails</title>

GFP_NOWAIT allocation can fail anytime - it doesn't wait for memory being
available and it fails if the mempool is exhausted and there is not enough
memory.

If we go down this path:
  map_bio -&gt; mg_start -&gt; alloc_migration -&gt; mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT)
we can see that map_bio() doesn't check the return value of mg_start(),
and the bio is leaked.

If we go down this path:
  map_bio -&gt; mg_start -&gt; mg_lock_writes -&gt; alloc_prison_cell -&gt;
  dm_bio_prison_alloc_cell_v2 -&gt; mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT) -&gt;
  mg_lock_writes -&gt; mg_complete
the bio is ended with an error - it is unacceptable because it could
cause filesystem corruption if the machine ran out of memory
temporarily.

Change GFP_NOWAIT to GFP_NOIO, so that the mempool code will properly
wait until memory becomes available. mempool_alloc with GFP_NOIO can't
fail, so remove the code paths that deal with allocation failure.

<title>dm cache: add support for discard passdown to the origin device</title>

DM cache now defaults to passing discards down to the origin device.
User may disable this using the "no_discard_passdown" feature when
creating the cache device.

If the cache's underlying origin device doesn't support discards then
passdown is disabled (with warning).  Similarly, if the underlying
origin device's max_discard_sectors is less than a cache block discard
passdown will be disabled (this is required because sizing of the cache
internal discard bitset depends on it).

There is no need to have DM core split discards on behalf of a DM target
now that blk_queue_split() handles splitting discards based on the
queue_limits.  A DM target just needs to set max_discard_sectors,
discard_granularity, etc, in queue_limits.

A reload of the cache's DM table is needed during resize because
otherwise a crash will occur when attempting to access smq policy
entries associated with the portion of the cache that was recently
extended.

The reason is cache-size based data structures in the policy will not be
resized, the only way to safely extend the cache is to allow for a
proper cache policy initialization that occurs when the cache table is
loaded.  For example the smq policy's space_init(), init_allocator(),
calc_hotspot_params() must be sized based on the extended cache size.

The fix for this is to disallow cache resizes of this pattern:
1) suspend "cache" target's device
2) resize the fast device used for the cache
3) resume "cache" target's device

Instead, the last step must be a full reload of the cache's DM table.
