Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM thin to work as a swap device by using 'limit_swap_bios' DM target flag (initially added to allow swap to dm-crypt) to throttle the amount of outstanding swap bios. - Fix DM crypt soft lockup warnings by calling cond_resched() from the cpu intensive loop in dmcrypt_write(). - Fix DM crypt to not access an uninitialized tasklet. This fix allows for consistent handling of IO completion, by _not_ needlessly punting to a workqueue when tasklets are not needed. - Fix DM core's alloc_dev() initialization for DM stats to check for and propagate alloc_percpu() failure. * tag 'for-6.3/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write() dm thin: fix deadlock when swapping to thin device
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.
