Merge tag 'for-5.14/dm-changes' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
   benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.

 - A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.

 - Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
   changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
   required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).

 - Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds an
   optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged with
   REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
   ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
   working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
   ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.
