Merge tag 'for-7.1/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Benjamin Marzinski:
 "There are fixes for some corner case crashes in dm-cache and
  dm-mirror, new setup functionality for dm-vdo, and miscellaneous minor
  fixes and cleanups, especially to dm-verity.

  dm-vdo:
   - Make dm-vdo able to format the device itself, like other dm
     targets, instead of needing a userspace formating program
   - Add some sanity checks and code cleanup

  dm-cache:
   - Fix crashes and hangs when operating in passthrough mode (which
     have been around, unnoticed, since 4.12), as well as a late
     arriving fix for an error path bug in the passthrough fix
   - Fix a corner case memory leak

  dm-verity:
   - Another set of minor bugfixes and code cleanups to the forward
     error correction code

  dm-mirror
   - Fix minor initialization bug
   - Fix overflow crash on a large devices with small region sizes

  dm-crypt
   - Reimplement elephant diffuser using AES library and minor cleanups

  dm-core:
   - Claude found a buffer overflow in /dev/mapper/contrl ioctl handling
   - make dm_mod.wait_for correctly wait for partitions
   - minor code fixes and cleanups"
