That is more than I'd care to put on Linus at this point.  I've prepared
a DM pull request that fixes things up.  Apologies for not pressing this
request-based DM partial completion issue further, it was an oversight
on my part.  We'll have to get it fixed up properly and revisit for a
future release.

Linus,

The following changes since commit e262f34741522e0d821642e5449c6eeb512723fc:

  dm stats: add support for request-based DM devices (2015-06-17 12:40:41 -0400)

  dm cache policy smq: fix "default" version to be 1.4.0 (2015-06-26 10:14:28 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Revert block and DM core changes that removed request-based DM's
  ability to handle partial request completions -- otherwise with the
  current SCSI LLDs these changes could lead to silent data corruption.

- Fix two DM version bumps that were missing from the initial 4.2 DM
  pull request (enabled userspace lvm2 to know certain changes have been
  made).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Snitzer (4):
      Revert "dm: do not allocate any mempools for blk-mq request-based DM"
      Revert "block, dm: don't copy bios for request clones"
      dm: bump the ioctl version to 4.32.0
      dm cache policy smq: fix "default" version to be 1.4.0
