Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM ioctl interface to avoid INT_MAX overflow warnings from kvmalloc by limiting the number of targets and parameter size area. - Fix DM stats to avoid INT_MAX overflow warnings from kvmalloc by limiting the number of entries supported. - Fix DM writecache to support mapping devices larger than 1 TiB by switching from using kvmalloc_array to vmalloc_array -- which avoids INT_MAX overflow in kvmalloc_node and associated warnings. - Remove the (ab)use of tasklets from both the DM crypt and verity targets. They will be converted to use BH workqueue in future. * tag 'for-6.8/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets dm writecache: allow allocations larger than 2GiB dm stats: limit the number of entries dm: limit the number of targets and parameter size area
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.
