DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag to have dm-bufio use spinlock rather than mutex for its locking. - Add optional "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature to DM verity target. This feature gives users the option to improve IO latency by using a tasklet to verify, using hashes in bufio's cache, rather than wait to schedule a work item via workqueue. But if there is a bufio cache miss, or an error, then the tasklet will fallback to using workqueue. - Incremental changes to both dm-bufio and the DM verity target to use jump_label to minimize cost of branching associated with the niche "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature. DM-bufio in particular is used by quite a few other DM targets so it doesn't make sense to incur additional bufio cost in those targets purely for the benefit of this niche verity feature if the feature isn't ever used. - Optimize verity_verify_io, which is used by both workqueue and tasklet based verification, if FEC is not configured or tasklet based verification isn't used. - Remove DM verity target's verify_wq's use of the WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE flag since it uses WQ_UNBOUND. Also, use the WQ_HIGHPRI flag if "try_verify_in_tasklet" is specified. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEJfWUX4UqZ4x1O2wixSPxCi2dA1oFAmLtYU0ACgkQxSPxCi2d A1pIDwgAjQi7jSxN7n+Fb4sJLL5x3WvuVGcockIkucj+Pvr3nvijwkf27+kbCWhn d4bDhA60gCebd87lf2PZTf8LL2+h9SLzFDTrgBVg5eC4O8aoQNrgwMMKVvYn+MmK OShurwHXS/7iqCETFaUA7hVtH/NwSWzP7WL5+QIDVOWVGaTLnqdvA4TYSZnljEg2 c02bL2KK+ndsYYshDq7HnVuqr4hIBWKF6y0lApU42mfTCnghX8ZnUMG9pO9K+20X qVfQH58CjOTP0MaHsddyR1sTKKZ1qY1HdoDhnlMVfZD5XqnCMhzefKoMxbxJKmJ3 7hS5w2tNxSx4yYWGj3dXHKhEZi0buA== =ZBi4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-6.0/dm-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull more device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Add flags argument to dm_bufio_client_create and introduce DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag to have dm-bufio use spinlock rather than mutex for its locking. - Add optional "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature to DM verity target.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
