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

* tag 'for-6.5/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (28 commits)
  dm: get rid of GFP_NOIO workarounds for __vmalloc and kvmalloc
  dm integrity: scale down the recalculate buffer if memory allocation fails
  dm integrity: only allocate recalculate buffer when needed
  dm integrity: reduce vmalloc space footprint on 32-bit architectures
  dm ioctl: Refuse to create device named "." or ".."
  dm ioctl: Refuse to create device named "control"
  dm ioctl: Avoid double-fetch of version
  dm ioctl: structs and parameter strings must not overlap
  dm ioctl: Avoid pointer arithmetic overflow
  dm ioctl: Check dm_target_spec is sufficiently aligned
  Documentation: dm-integrity: Document an example of how the tunables relate.
  Documentation: dm-integrity: Document default values.
  Documentation: dm-integrity: Document the meaning of "buffer".
  Documentation: dm-integrity: Fix minor grammatical error.
  dm integrity: Use %*ph for printing hexdump of a small buffer
  dm thin: disable discards for thin-pool if no_discard_passdown
  dm: remove stale/redundant dm_internal_{suspend,resume} prototypes in dm.h

Pull ordered workqueue creation updates from Tejun Heo:
 "For historical reasons, unbound workqueues with max concurrency limit
  of 1 are considered ordered, even though the concurrency limit hasn't
  been system-wide for a long time.

  This creates ambiguity around whether ordered execution is actually
  required for correctness, which was actually confusing for e.g. btrfs
  (btrfs updates are being routed through the btrfs tree).

  There aren't that many users in the tree which use the combination and
  there are pending improvements to unbound workqueue affinity handling
  which will make inadvertent use of ordered workqueue a bigger loss.

  This clarifies the situation for most of them by updating the ones
  which require ordered execution to use alloc_ordered_workqueue().

  There are some conversions being routed through subsystem-specific
  trees and likely a few stragglers. Once they're all converted,
  workqueue can trigger a warning on unbound + @max_active==1 usages and
  eventually drop the implicit ordered behavior"

Commit bc58ba9468d9 ("block: add sysfs file for controlling io stats
accounting") allowed users to turn off disk stat accounting completely
by checking if queue flag QUEUE_FLAG_IO_STAT is set. In dm, this flag
is neither set nor checked: so block-core's io stats are continuously
counted and cannot be turned off.

Add support for turning off block-core's io stats accounting for dm.
Set QUEUE_FLAG_IO_STAT for dm's request_queue. If QUEUE_FLAG_IO_STAT
is set when an io starts, record the need for block core's io stats by
setting the DM_IO_BLK_STAT dm_io flag to avoid io stats being disabled
in the middle of the io.

DM statistics (dm-stats) is independent of block-core's io stats and
remains unchanged.

<title>dm: use op specific max_sectors when splitting abnormal io</title>

<content type='text'>
Split abnormal IO in terms of the corresponding operation specific
max_sectors (max_discard_sectors, max_secure_erase_sectors or
max_write_zeroes_sectors).

This fixes a significant dm-thinp discard performance regression that
was introduced with commit e2dd8aca2d76 ("dm bio prison v1: improve
concurrent IO performance"). Relative to discard: max_discard_sectors
is used instead of max_sectors; which fixes excessive discard splitting
(e.g. max_sectors=128K vs max_discard_sectors=64M).

Tested by discarding an 1 Petabyte dm-thin device:
lvcreate -V 1125899906842624B -T test/pool -n thin
time blkdiscard /dev/test/thin

Before this fix (splitting discards every 128K): ~116m
 After this fix (splitting discards every 64M) : 0m33.460s

Reported-by: Zorro Lang &lt;zlang@redhat.com&gt;
Fixes: 06961c487a33 ("dm: split discards further if target sets max_discard_granularity")
Requires: 13f6facf3fae ("dm: allow targets to require splitting WRITE_ZEROES and SECURE_ERASE")

<title>dm: don't lock fs when the map is NULL during suspend or resume</title>

<content type='text'>
As described in commit 38d11da522aa ("dm: don't lock fs when the map is
NULL in process of resume"), a deadlock may be triggered between
do_resume() and do_mount().

This commit preserves the fix from commit 38d11da522aa but moves it to
where it also serves to fix a similar deadlock between do_suspend()
and do_mount().  It does so, if the active map is NULL, by clearing
DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG in dm_suspend() which is called by both
do_suspend() and do_resume().

<title>block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.
