dm thin: fix documentation relative to low water mark threshold

2018-05-30T05:48:53Z

[ Upstream commit 9b28a1102efc75d81298198166ead87d643a29ce ] Fixes: 1. The use of "exceeds" when the opposite of exceeds, falls below, was meant. 2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold. It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace daemon's responsibility to check for low free space when a device is resumed, since it won't get a special event indicating low free space in that situation.

Merge tag 'dm-4.4-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: "Smaller set of DM changes for this merge. I've based these changes on Jens' for-4.4/reservations branch because the associated DM changes required it. - Revert a dm-multipath change that caused a regression for unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a multipath device had no available paths. - Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add support for passing through persistent reservations with DM multipath. - All other changes are very simple cleanups" * tag 'dm-4.4-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm switch: simplify conditional in alloc_region_table() dm delay: document that offsets are specified in sectors dm delay: capitalize the start of an delay_ctr() error message dm delay: Use DM_MAPIO macros instead of open-coded equivalents dm linear: remove redundant target name from error messages dm persistent data: eliminate unnecessary return values dm: eliminate unused "bioset" process for each bio-based DM device dm: convert ffs to __ffs dm: drop NULL test before kmem_cache_destroy() and mempool_destroy() dm: add support for passing through persistent reservations dm: refactor ioctl handling Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls" dm: initialize non-blk-mq queue data before queue is used

dm delay: document that offsets are specified in sectors

Only delay params are mentioned in delay.txt. Mention offsets just like documents for linear and flakey do. Signed-off-by: Tomohiro Kusumi Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm snapshot: add new persistent store option to support overflow

2015-10-09T20:57:03Z

Commit 76c44f6d80 introduced the possibly for "Overflow" to be reported by the snapshot device's status. Older userspace (e.g. lvm2) does not handle the "Overflow" status response. Fix this incompatibility by requiring newer userspace code, that can cope with "Overflow", request the persistent store with overflow support by using "PO" (Persistent with Overflow) for the snapshot store type.

dm stats: report precise_timestamps and histogram in @stats_list output

2015-08-18T21:20:03Z

If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report it in the @stats_list message output. If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported, thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about precise timestamps and histogram.
