Please pull from:

  master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-2.6-dm.git master

to get the following device-mapper patches for inclusion in 2.6.40. 
There are some minor fixes and a small patchset that reduces kcopyd memory
requirements.

Martin K. Petersen (1):
      dm mpath: do not fail paths after integrity errors

Mike Snitzer (1):
      dm table: allow targets to support discards internally

Mikulas Patocka (8):
      dm kcopyd: avoid pointless job splitting
      dm kcopyd: preallocate sub jobs to avoid deadlock
      dm kcopyd: remove superfluous page allocation spinlock
      dm kcopyd: add gfp parm to alloc_pl
      dm kcopyd: alloc pages from the main page allocator
      dm io: use fixed initial mempool size
      dm kcopyd: reserve fewer pages
      dm kcopyd: return client directly and not through a pointer

Milan Broz (1):
      dm table: reject devices without request fns
