Merge tag 'for-4.17/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to retain reference to DM table, and
   that table's block devices, while issuing the ioctl to one of those
   block devices.

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to _not_ override the fmode_t used to
   issue the ioctl. Overriding by using the fmode_t that the block
   device was originally open with during DM table load is a liability.

 - Add DM core support for secure erase forwarding and update the DM
   linear and DM striped targets to support them.

 - A DM core 4.16 stable fix to allow abnormal IO (e.g. discard, write
   same, write zeroes) for targets that make use of the non-splitting IO
   variant (as is done for multipath or thinp when layered directly on
   NVMe).

 - Allow DM targets to return a payload in response to a DM message that
   they are sent. This is useful for DM targets that would like to
   provide statistics data in response to DM messages.

 - Update DM bufio to support non-power-of-2 block sizes. Numerous other
   related changes prepare the DM bufio code for this support.

 - Fix DM crypt to use a bounded amount of memory across the entire
   system. This is to avoid OOM that can otherwise occur in response to
   certain pathological IO workloads (e.g. discarding a large DM crypt
   device).

 - Add a 'check_at_most_once' feature to the DM verity target to allow
   verity to be used on mobile devices that have very limited resources.

 - Fix the DM integrity target to fail early if a keyed algorithm (e.g.
   HMAC) is to be used but the key isn't set.

 - Add non-power-of-2 support to the DM unstripe target.

 - Eliminate the use of a Variable Length Array in the DM stripe target.

 - Update the DM log-writes target to record metadata (REQ_META flag).

 - DM raid fixes for its nosync status and some variable range issues.
