Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Update DM crypt to allocate compound pages if possible

 - Fix DM crypt target's crypt_ctr_cipher_new return value on invalid
   AEAD cipher

 - Fix DM flakey testing target's write bio corruption feature to
   corrupt the data of a cloned bio instead of the original

 - Add random_read_corrupt and random_write_corrupt features to DM
   flakey target

 - Fix ABBA deadlock in DM thin metadata by resetting associated bufio
   client rather than destroying and recreating it

 - A couple other small DM thinp cleanups

 - Update DM core to support disabling block core IO stats accounting
   and optimize away code that isn't needed if stats are disabled

 - Other small DM core cleanups

 - Improve DM integrity target to not require so much memory on 32 bit
   systems. Also only allocate the recalculate buffer as needed (and
   increasingly reduce its size on allocation failure)

 - Update DM integrity to use %*ph for printing hexdump of a small
   buffer. Also update DM integrity documentation

 - Various DM core ioctl interface hardening. Now more careful about
   alignment of structures and processing of input passed to the kernel
   from userspace.

   Also disallow the creation of DM devices named "control", "." or ".."

 - Eliminate GFP_NOIO workarounds for __vmalloc and kvmalloc in DM
   core's ioctl and bufio code

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

 - Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
   get_user_pages() interface

It was reported that allocating pages for the write buffer in dm-crypt
causes measurable overhead [1].

Change dm-crypt to allocate compound pages if they are available. If
not, fall back to the mempool.

MAX_CIPHER_BLOCKSIZE is an internal implementation detail and should
not be relied on by users of the Crypto API.

Instead of storing the IV on the stack, allocate it together with
the crypto request.

<title>dm-crypt: use __bio_add_page to add single page to clone bio</title>

crypt_alloc_buffer() already allocates enough entries in the clone bio's
vector, so adding a page to the bio can't fail. Use __bio_add_page() to
reflect this.

<title>dm: add helper macro for simple DM target module init and exit</title>

<content type='text'>
Eliminate duplicate boilerplate code for simple modules that contain
a single DM target driver without any additional setup code.

Add a new module_dm() macro, which replaces the module_init() and
module_exit() with template functions that call dm_register_target()
and dm_unregister_target() respectively.

responsible for its error reporting (on behalf of targets).
