----------------------------------------------------------------
Improve multipath's retrying mechanism in some defined circumstances
and provide a simple reserve/release mechanism for userspace tools to
access thin provisioning metadata while the pool is in use.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Thornber (1):
      dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata

Mike Christie (1):
      dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg

Mike Snitzer (2):
      dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
      dm thin: use slab mempools

Mikulas Patocka (1):
      dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
