The workqueue "dm_bufio_wq" queues a single work item &amp;dm_bufio_work so
it doesn't require execution ordering.  Hence, alloc_workqueue() has
been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue().

The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set since DM requires forward progress
under memory pressure.

Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary here.

If crypt_alloc_tfms() had to allocate multiple tfms and it failed before
the last allocation, then it would call crypt_free_tfms() and could free
pointers from uninitialized memory -- due to the crypt_free_tfms() check
for non-zero cc-&gt;tfms[i].  Fix by allocating zeroed memory.

When dm-crypt processes writes, it allocates a new bio in
crypt_alloc_buffer().  The bio is allocated from a bio set and it can
have at most BIO_MAX_PAGES vector entries, however the incoming bio can be
larger (e.g. if it was allocated by bcache).  If the incoming bio is
larger, bio_alloc_bioset() fails and an error is returned.

To avoid the error, we test for a too large bio in the function
crypt_map() and use dm_accept_partial_bio() to split the bio.
dm_accept_partial_bio() trims the current bio to the desired size and
asks DM core to send another bio with the rest of the data.

bio_alloc() can allocate a bio with at most BIO_MAX_PAGES (256) vector
entries.  However, the incoming bio may have more vector entries if it
was allocated by other means.  For example, bcache submits bios with
more than BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  This results in bio_alloc() failure.

To avoid the failure, change the code so that it allocates bio with at
most BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  If the incoming bio has more entries,
bio_add_page() will fail and a new bio will be allocated - the code that
handles bio_add_page() failure already exists in the dm-log-writes
target.

Move log_one_block()'s atomic_inc(&amp;lc-&gt;io_blocks) before bio_alloc() to
fix a bug that the target hangs if bio_alloc() fails.  The error path
does put_io_block(lc), so atomic_inc(&amp;lc-&gt;io_blocks) must occur before
invoking the error path to avoid underflow of lc-&gt;io_blocks.
