Merge tag 'dm-3.20-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull more device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

- Significant dm-crypt CPU scalability performance improvements thanks
  to changes that enable effective use of an unbound workqueue across
  all available CPUs.  A large battery of tests were performed to
  validate these changes, summary of results is available here:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-February/msg00106.html

- A few additional stable fixes (to DM core, dm-snapshot and dm-mirror)
  and a small fix to the dm-space-map-disk.

* tag 'dm-3.20-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm snapshot: fix a possible invalid memory access on unload
  dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
  dm crypt: sort writes
  dm crypt: add 'submit_from_crypt_cpus' option
  dm crypt: offload writes to thread
  dm crypt: remove unused io_pool and _crypt_io_pool
  dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools
  dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request
  dm crypt: use unbound workqueue for request processing
  dm io: reject unsupported DISCARD requests with EOPNOTSUPP
  dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard error
  dm space map disk: fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one()

+same_cpu_crypt
+    Perform encryption using the same cpu that IO was submitted on.
+    The default is to use an unbound workqueue so that encryption work
+    is automatically balanced between available CPUs.

+submit_from_crypt_cpus
+    Disable offloading writes to a separate thread after encryption.
+    There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
+    encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
+    significantly.  The default is to offload write bios to the same
+    thread because it benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the
+    same context.
