Linus Torvalds 4f1cbe0785 - Two queue_limits stacking fixes: disable discards if underlying driver
does.  And propagate BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES to fix sporadic checksum
   errors.
 
 - Fix that reverts a DM core limit that wasn't needed given that
   dm-crypt was already updated to impose an equivalent limit.
 
 - Fix dm-init to properly establish 'const' for __initconst array.
 
 - Fix deadlock in DM integrity target that occurs when overlapping IO is
   being issued to it.  And two smaller fixes to the DM integrity target.

Merge tag 'for-5.1/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Two queue_limits stacking fixes: disable discards if underlying
   driver does. And propagate BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES to fix sporadic
   checksum errors.

 - Fix that reverts a DM core limit that wasn't needed given that
   dm-crypt was already updated to impose an equivalent limit.

 - Fix dm-init to properly establish 'const' for __initconst array.

 - Fix deadlock in DM integrity target that occurs when overlapping IO
   is being issued to it. And two smaller fixes to the DM integrity
   target.

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.

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.
