Pull device-mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
 "Add the ability to collect I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a
  device-mapper device.  This dm-stats code required the reintroduction
  of a div64_u64_rem() helper, but as a separate method that doesn't
  slow down div64_u64() -- especially on 32-bit systems.

  Allow the error target to replace request-based DM devices (e.g.
  multipath) in addition to bio-based DM devices.

  Various other small code fixes and improvements to thin-provisioning,
  DM cache and the DM ioctl interface"

+DM statistics
+=============
+
+Device Mapper supports the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined
+regions of a DM device.	 If no regions are defined no statistics are
+collected so there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM
+devices are currently supported.
+
+Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
+Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
+the range specified.
+
+The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
+in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats (see:
+Documentation/iostats.txt).  But two extra counters (12 and 13) are
+provided: total time spent reading and writing in milliseconds.	 All
+these counters may be accessed by sending the @stats_print message to
+the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.
+
+Each region has a corresponding unique identifier, which we call a
+region_id, that is assigned when the region is created.	 The region_id
+must be supplied when querying statistics about the region, deleting the
+region, etc.  Unique region_ids enable multiple userspace programs to
+request and process statistics for the same DM device without stepping
+on each other's data.
+
+The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
+fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
+memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
+memory is used by reading
+/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes

+Messages
+========
+
+    @stats_create <range> <step> [<program_id> [<aux_data>]]
+
+	Create a new region and return the region_id.
+
+	<range>
+	  "-" - whole device
+	  "<start_sector>+<length>" - a range of <length> 512-byte sectors
+				      starting with <start_sector>.
+
+	<step>
+	  "<area_size>" - the range is subdivided into areas each containing
+			  <area_size> sectors.
+	  "/<number_of_areas>" - the range is subdivided into the specified
+				 number of areas.
+
+	<program_id>
+	  An optional parameter.  A name that uniquely identifies
+	  the userspace owner of the range.  This groups ranges together
+	  so that userspace programs can identify the ranges they
+	  created and ignore those created by others.
+	  The kernel returns this string back in the output of
+	  @stats_list message, but it doesn't use it for anything else.
+
+	<aux_data>
+	  An optional parameter.  A word that provides auxiliary data
+	  that is useful to the client program that created the range.
+	  The kernel returns this string back in the output of
+	  @stats_list message, but it doesn't use this value for anything.
+
+    @stats_delete <region_id>
+
+	Delete the region with the specified id.
+
+	<region_id>
+	  region_id returned from @stats_create
+
+    @stats_clear <region_id>
+
+	Clear all the counters except the in-flight i/o counters.
+
+	<region_id>
+	  region_id returned from @stats_create
+
+    @stats_list [<program_id>]
+
+	List all regions registered with @stats_create.
+
+	<program_id>
+	  An optional parameter.
+	  If this parameter is specified, only matching regions
+	  are returned.
+	  If it is not specified, all regions are returned.
+
+	Output format:
+	  <region_id>: <start_sector>+<length> <step> <program_id> <aux_data>
+
+    @stats_print <region_id> [<starting_line> <number_of_lines>]
+
+	Print counters for each step-sized area of a region.
+
+	<region_id>
+	  region_id returned from @stats_create
+
+	<starting_line>
+	  The index of the starting line in the output.
+	  If omitted, all lines are returned.
+
+	<number_of_lines>
+	  The number of lines to include in the output.
+	  If omitted, all lines are returned.
+
+	Output format for each step-sized area of a region:
+
+	  <start_sector>+<length> counters
+
+	  The first 11 counters have the same meaning as
+	  /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats.
+
+	  Please refer to Documentation/iostats.txt for details.
+
+	  1. the number of reads completed
+	  2. the number of reads merged
+	  3. the number of sectors read
+	  4. the number of milliseconds spent reading
+	  5. the number of writes completed
+	  6. the number of writes merged
+	  7. the number of sectors written
+	  8. the number of milliseconds spent writing
+	  9. the number of I/Os currently in progress
+	  10. the number of milliseconds spent doing I/Os
+	  11. the weighted number of milliseconds spent doing I/Os
+
+	  Additional counters:
+	  12. the total time spent reading in milliseconds
+	  13. the total time spent writing in milliseconds
+
+    @stats_print_clear <region_id> [<starting_line> <number_of_lines>]
+
+	Atomically print and then clear all the counters except the
+	in-flight i/o counters.	 Useful when the client consuming the
+	statistics does not want to lose any statistics (those updated
+	between printing and clearing).
+
+	<region_id>
+	  region_id returned from @stats_create
+
+	<starting_line>
+	  The index of the starting line in the output.
+	  If omitted, all lines are printed and then cleared.
+
+	<number_of_lines>
+	  The number of lines to process.
+	  If omitted, all lines are printed and then cleared.
+
+    @stats_set_aux <region_id> <aux_data>
+
+	Store auxiliary data aux_data for the specified region.
+
+	<region_id>
+	  region_id returned from @stats_create
+
+	<aux_data>
+	  The string that identifies data which is useful to the client
+	  program that created the range.  The kernel returns this
+	  string back in the output of @stats_list message, but it
+	  doesn't use this value for anything.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Subdivide the DM device 'vol' into 100 pieces and start collecting
+statistics on them:
+
+  dmsetup message vol 0 @stats_create - /100
+
+Set the auxillary data string to "foo bar baz" (the escape for each
+space must also be escaped, otherwise the shell will consume them):
+
+  dmsetup message vol 0 @stats_set_aux 0 foo\\ bar\\ baz
+
+List the statistics:
+
+  dmsetup message vol 0 @stats_list
+
+Print the statistics:
+
+  dmsetup message vol 0 @stats_print 0
+
+Delete the statistics:
+
+  dmsetup message vol 0 @stats_delete 0
