Merge tag 'for-5.11/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Add DM verity support for signature verification with 2nd keyring
- Fix DM verity to skip verity work if IO completes with error while
system is shutting down
- Add new DM multipath "IO affinity" path selector that maps IO
destined to a given path to a specific CPU based on user provided
mapping
- Rename DM multipath path selector source files to have "dm-ps" prefix
- Add REQ_NOWAIT support to some other simple DM targets that don't
block in more elaborate ways waiting for IO
- Export DM crypt's kcryptd workqueue via sysfs (WQ_SYSFS)
- Fix error return code in DM's target_message() if empty message is
received
- A handful of other small cleanups
