- Convert the DM verity and crypt targets from (ab)using tasklets to
using BH workqueues. These changes were coordinated with Tejun and
are based ontop of DM's 6.9 changes and Tejun's 6.9 workqueue tree.
dm-verity: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.
This commit converts dm-verity from tasklet to BH workqueue. It
backfills tasklet code that was removed with commit 0a9bab391e33
("dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets") and tweaks to use BH
workqueue (and does some renaming).
This is a minimal conversion which doesn't rename the related names
including the "try_verify_in_tasklet" option. If this patch is applied, a
follow-up patch would be necessary. I couldn't decide whether the option
name would need to be updated too.
