Merge tag 'for-5.8/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - The largest change for this cycle is the DM zoned target's metadata
   version 2 feature that adds support for pairing regular block devices
   with a zoned device to ease the performance impact associated with
   finite random zones of zoned device.

   The changes came in three batches: the first prepared for and then
   added the ability to pair a single regular block device, the second
   was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, and the
   third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional
   regular block device to allow many devices.

   Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added.

 - Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller
   logical_block_size than a block device supports

   The primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte
   logical_block_size and 4KB physical_block_size. This is useful to
   some legacy applications that otherwise wouldn't be able to be used
   on 4K devices because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte
   granularity.

 - Add discard interfaces to DM bufio. First consumer of the interface
   is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio.

 - Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate
   logic_block_size.

 - Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line.

 - Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use
   dynamic debug via pr_debug.

 - Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages
   "queue_if_no_path" state internally.

   DM multipath now avoids disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is
   actually needed (e.g. in response to configure timeout or explicit
   "fail_if_no_path" message).

   This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back to userspace
   application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe backend.
   Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with debugging
   queue_if_no_path in the future.

 - Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector.

 - Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error.

 - Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit cache
   flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small cleanup to
   remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim.

 - Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM
   integrity.

+This target is similar to the linear target except that it emulates
+a smaller logical block size on a device with a larger logical block
+size.  Its main purpose is to provide emulation of 512 byte sectors on
+devices that do not provide this emulation (i.e. 4K native disks).
+
+Supported emulated logical block sizes 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096.
+
+Underlying block size can be set to > 4K to test buffering larger units.
+
+
+Table parameters
+----------------
+  <dev path> <offset> <emulated sectors> [<underlying sectors>]
+
+Mandatory parameters:
+
+    <dev path>:
+        Full pathname to the underlying block-device,
+        or a "major:minor" device-number.
+    <offset>:
+        Starting sector within the device;
+        has to be a multiple of <emulated sectors>.
+    <emulated sectors>:
+        Number of sectors defining the logical block size to be emulated;
+        1, 2, 4, 8 sectors of 512 bytes supported.
+
+Optional parameter:
+
+    <underyling sectors>:
+        Number of sectors defining the logical block size of <dev path>.
+        2^N supported, e.g. 8 = emulate 8 sectors of 512 bytes = 4KiB.
+        If not provided, the logical block size of <dev path> will be used.
+
+
+Examples:
+
+Emulate 1 sector = 512 bytes logical block size on /dev/sda starting at
+offset 1024 sectors with underlying devices block size automatically set:
+
+ebs /dev/sda 1024 1
+
+Emulate 2 sector = 1KiB logical block size on /dev/sda starting at
+offset 128 sectors, enforce 2KiB underlying device block size.
+This presumes 2KiB logical blocksize on /dev/sda or less to work:
+
+ebs /dev/sda 128 2 4
