Subject: Re: [git pull] device-mapper updates for 3.5

Revised version dealing with a couple of symbols reported by Fengguang Wu.

Please pull from:
 
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm tags/dm-3.5-changes-1
 
to get the following device-mapper updates for 3.5.
  
Thanks,
Alasdair

----------------------------------------------------------------
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
