- Fix DM thin to work as a swap device by using 'limit_swap_bios' DM
target flag (initially added to allow swap to dm-crypt) to throttle
the amount of outstanding swap bios.
- Fix DM crypt soft lockup warnings by calling cond_resched() from the
cpu intensive loop in dmcrypt_write().
- Fix DM crypt to not access an uninitialized tasklet. This fix allows
for consistent handling of IO completion, by _not_ needlessly punting
to a workqueue when tasklets are not needed.
- Fix DM core's alloc_dev() initialization for DM stats to check for
and propagate alloc_percpu() failure.
dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure
Check alloc_precpu()'s return value and return an error from
dm_stats_init() if it fails. Update alloc_dev() to fail if
dm_stats_init() does.
Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in dm_stats_cleanup()
even if dm-stats isn't being actively used.
