Merge tag 'for-5.7/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- Document DM integrity allow_discard feature that was added during 5.7
merge window.
- Fix potential for DM writecache data corruption during DM table
reloads.
- Fix DM verity's FEC support's hash block number calculation in
verity_fec_decode().
- Fix bio-based DM multipath crash due to use of stale copy of
MPATHF_QUEUE_IO flag state in __map_bio().
* tag 'for-5.7/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
dm multipath: use updated MPATHF_QUEUE_IO on mapping for bio-based mpath
dm verity fec: fix hash block number in verity_fec_decode
