- Fix DM integrity's HMAC support to provide enhanced security of
internal_hash and journal_mac capabilities.
- Various DM writecache fixes to address performance, fix table output
to match what was provided at table creation, fix writing beyond end
of device when shrinking underlying data device, and a couple other
small cleanups.
- Add DM crypt support for using trusted keys.
- Fix deadlock when swapping to DM crypt device by throttling number
of in-flight REQ_SWAP bios. Implemented in DM core so that other
bio-based targets can opt-in by setting ti->limit_swap_bios.
- Fix various inverted logic bugs in the .iterate_devices callout
functions that are used to assess if specific feature or capability
is supported across all devices being combined/stacked by DM.
- Fix DM era target bugs that exposed users to lost writes or memory
leaks.
- Add DM core support for passing through inline crypto support of
underlying devices. Includes block/keyslot-manager changes that
enable extending this support to DM.
- Various small fixes and cleanups (spelling fixes, front padding
calculation cleanup, cleanup conditional zoned support in targets,
etc).
dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device
The system would deadlock when swapping to a dm-crypt device. The reason
is that for each incoming write bio, dm-crypt allocates memory that holds
encrypted data. These excessive allocations exhaust all the memory and the
result is either deadlock or OOM trigger.
This patch limits the number of in-flight swap bios, so that the memory
consumed by dm-crypt is limited. The limit is enforced if the target set
the "limit_swap_bios" variable and if the bio has REQ_SWAP set.
Non-swap bios are not affected becuase taking the semaphore would cause
performance degradation.
This is similar to request-based drivers - they will also block when the
number of requests is over the limit.
