Linus Torvalds b0e5c29426 Merge tag 'for-4.19/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - A couple stable fixes for the DM writecache target.

 - A stable fix for the DM cache target that fixes the potential for
   data corruption after an unclean shutdown of a cache device using
   writeback mode.

 - Update DM integrity target to allow the metadata to be stored on a
   separate device from data.

 - Fix DM kcopyd and the snapshot target to cond_resched() where
   appropriate and be more efficient with processing completed work.

 - A few fixes and improvements for DM crypt.

 - Add DM delay target feature to configure delay of flushes independent
   of writes.

 - Update DM thin-provisioning target to include metadata_low_watermark
   threshold in pool status.

 - Fix stale DM thin-provisioning Documentation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
