This IV is used in some BitLocker devices with CBC encryption mode.

IV is encrypted little-endian byte-offset (with the same key and cipher
as the volume).

<title>dm crypt: wipe private IV struct after key invalid flag is set</title>

<content type='text'>
If a private IV wipe function fails, the code does not set the key
invalid flag.  To fix this, move code to after the flag is set to
prevent the device from resuming in an inconsistent state.

Also, this allows using of a randomized key in private wipe function
(to be used in a following commit).

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Improve DM snapshot target's scalability by using finer grained
   locking. Requires some list_bl interface improvements.

 - Add ability for DM integrity to use a bitmap mode, that tracks
   regions where data and metadata are out of sync, instead of using a
   journal.

 - Improve DM thin provisioning target to not write metadata changes to
   disk if the thin-pool and associated thin devices are merely
   activated but not used. This avoids metadata corruption due to
   concurrent activation of thin devices across different OS instances
   (e.g. split brain scenarios, which ultimately would be avoided if
   proper device filters were used -- but not having proper filtering
   has proven a very common configuration mistake)

 - Fix missing call to path selector type-&gt;end_io in DM multipath. This
   fixes reported performance problems due to inaccurate path selector
   IO accounting causing an imbalance of IO (e.g. avoiding issuing IO to
   particular path due to it seemingly being heavily used).

 - Fix bug in DM cache metadata's loading of its discard bitset that
   could lead to all cache blocks being discarded if the very first
   cache block was discarded (thankfully in practice the first cache
   block is generally in use; be it FS superblock, partition table, disk
   label, etc).

 - Add testing-only DM dust target which simulates a device that has
   failing sectors and/or read failures.

 - Fix a DM init error path reference count hang that caused boot hangs
   if user supplied malformed input on kernel commandline.

 - Fix a couple issues with DM crypt target's logging being overly
   verbose or lacking context.

 - Various other small fixes to DM init, DM multipath, DM zoned, and DM
   crypt.

The information about tag size should not be printed without debug info
set. Also print device major:minor in the error message to identify the
device instance.

Also use rate limiting and debug level for info about used crypto API
implementaton.  This is important because during online reencryption
the existing message saturates syslog (because we are moving hotzone
across the whole device).

<title>crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags</title>

<id>877b5691f27a1aec0d9b53095a323e45c30069e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.

With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP.  These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping.  For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API.  However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk.  It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

from the ahash API to the shash API.  However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk.  It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.
