You need these two 3.14-rc fixes that are staged in linux-next (via
linux-dm.git's 'for-next' branch):

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=d73f9907294c670da14baea3fb31be27879e818e
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=f3a44fe0608eb628e1f8f6e3540462e6d171a745

I wanted to send these to Linus last week but I was waiting for some
dm-thin fixes that aren't quite ready.  I'll send whatever I have staged
to Linus by this Friday so that 3.14-rc5 will have these fixes no matter
what.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mike
