- Update DM core to directly call the map function for both the linear
and stripe targets; which are provided by DM core.
- Various updates to use new safer string functions.
- Update DM core to respect REQ_NOWAIT flag in normal bios so that
memory allocations are always attempted with GFP_NOWAIT.
- Add Mikulas Patocka to MAINTAINERS as a DM maintainer!
- Improve DM delay target's handling of short delays (< 50ms) by using
a kthread to check expiration of IOs rather than timers and a wq.
- Update the DM error target so that it works with zoned storage. This
helps xfstests to provide proper IO error handling coverage when
testing a filesystem with native zoned storage support.
- Update both DM crypt and integrity targets to improve performance by
using crypto_shash_digest() rather than init+update+final sequence.
- Fix DM crypt target by backfilling missing memory allocation
accounting for compound pages.
dm crypt: account large pages in cc->n_allocated_pages
The commit 5054e778fcd9c ("dm crypt: allocate compound pages if
possible") changed dm-crypt to use compound pages to improve
performance. Unfortunately, there was an oversight: the allocation of
compound pages was not accounted at all. Normal pages are accounted in
a percpu counter cc->n_allocated_pages and dm-crypt is limited to
allocate at most 2% of memory. Because compound pages were not
accounted at all, dm-crypt could allocate memory over the 2% limit.
Fix this by adding the accounting of compound pages, so that memory
consumption of dm-crypt is properly limited.
