Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - initially based on Jens' 'for-4.8/core' (given all the flag churn)
   and later merged with 'for-4.8/core' to pickup the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
   commits that DM depends on to provide its DAX support

 - clean up the bio-based vs request-based DM core code by moving the
   request-based DM core code out to dm-rq.[hc]

 - reinstate bio-based support in the DM multipath target (done with the
   idea that fast storage like NVMe over Fabrics could benefit) -- while
   preserving support for request_fn and blk-mq request-based DM mpath

 - SCSI and DM multipath persistent reservation fixes that were
   coordinated with Martin Petersen.

 - the DM raid target saw the most extensive change this cycle; it now
   provides reshape and takeover support (by layering ontop of the
   corresponding MD capabilities)

 - DAX support for DM core and the linear, stripe and error targets

 - a DM thin-provisioning block discard vs allocation race fix that
   addresses potential for corruption

 - a stable fix for DM verity-fec's block calculation during decode

 - a few cleanups and fixes to DM core and various targets

* tag 'dm-4.8-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (73 commits)

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
     exciting!

   - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

   - removal of -&gt;driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
     device_add_disk() helper.

   - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

   - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

   - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

   - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

   - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

   - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

   - NVMe in general:
        + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
        + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
        + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.

   - the big change is the cleanup from Mike Christie, cleaning up our

   - following up to the above, better packing of struct request from
     Christoph

   - a 2038 fix for blktrace from Arnd

   - a few trivial/spelling fixes from Bart Van Assche

   - a front merge check fix from Damien, which could cause issues on
     SMR drives

   - Atari partition fix from Gabriel

   - convert cfq to highres timers, since jiffies isn't granular enough

   - cleanup series from Ming, improving our bio/bvec iteration

   - a direct issue fix for blk-mq from Omar

These only work if the we use the same initiator ID for all path,
which might not be true if we use different protocols, or even just
different HBAs.

Instead dm-mpath will grow support to register all path manually

device_add_disk().

This adds a REQ_OP_FLUSH operation that is sent to request_fn
based drivers by the block layer's flush code, instead of
sending requests with the request-&gt;cmd_flags REQ_FLUSH bit set.

This patch drops the compat definition of req_op where it matches
the rq_flag_bits definitions, and drops the related old and compat
code that allowed users to set either the op or flags for the operation.

We also then store the operation in the bi_rw/cmd_flags field similar
to how we used to store the bio ioprio where it sat in the upper bits
of the field.

The req operation REQ_OP is separated from the rq_flag_bits
definition. This converts the block layer drivers to
use req_op to get the op from the request struct.

For historic reasons, io_opt is in bytes and max_sectors in block layer
sectors. This interface inconsistency is error prone and should be
fixed. But for 4.4--4.7 let's make the unit difference explicit via a
wrapper function.
