Merge tag 'for-5.9/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - DM core fix for incorrect double bio splitting. Keep "fixing" this because past attempts didn't fully appreciate the liability relative to recursive bio splitting. This fix limits DM's bio splitting to a single method and does _not_ use blk_queue_split() for normal IO. - DM crypt Documentation updates for features added during 5.9 merge. * tag 'for-5.9/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm crypt: document encrypted keyring key option dm crypt: document new no_workqueue flags dm: fix comment in dm_process_bio() dm: fix bio splitting and its bio completion order for regular IO
