Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Eliminate a couple indirect calls from bio-based DM core.

 - Fix DM to allow reads that exceed readahead limits by setting
   io_pages in the backing_dev_info.

 - A couple code cleanups in request-based DM.

 - Fix various DM targets to check for device sector overflow if
   CONFIG_LBDAF is not set.

 - Use u64 instead of sector_t to store iv_offset in DM crypt; sector_t
   isn't large enough on 32bit when CONFIG_LBDAF is not set.

 - Performance fixes to DM's kcopyd and the snapshot target focused on
   limiting memory use and workqueue stalls.

 - Fix typos in the integrity and writecache targets.

 - Log which algorithm is used for dm-crypt's encryption and
   dm-integrity's hashing.

 - Fix false -EBUSY errors in DM raid target's handling of check/repair
   messages.

 - Fix DM flakey target's corrupt_bio_byte feature to reliably corrupt
   the Nth byte in a bio's payload.

* tag 'for-4.21/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size

<title>mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic</title>

<content type='text'>
totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

<title>crypto: drop mask=CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC from 'shash' tfm allocations</title>

<id>3d234b3313cd12157946522fe35f5a4574f31169</id>
<content type='text'>
'shash' algorithms are always synchronous, so passing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC
in the mask to crypto_alloc_shash() has no effect.  Many users therefore
already don't pass it, but some still do.  This inconsistency can cause
confusion, especially since the way the 'mask' argument works is
somewhat counterintuitive.

Thus, just remove the unneeded CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC flags.

This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

As done treewide earlier, this catches several more open-coded
allocation size calculations that were added to the kernel during the
merge window. This performs the following mechanical transformations
using Coccinelle:

	kvmalloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; kvmalloc_array(a, b, ...)
	kvzalloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; kvcalloc(a, b, ...)
	devm_kzalloc(..., a * b, ...) -&gt; devm_kcalloc(..., a, b, ...)

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the new HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE from the crypto layer to allocate the upper
bounds on stack usage.

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the new HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE from the crypto layer to allocate the upper
bounds on stack usage.

There's a XFS on dm-crypt deadlock, recursing back to itself due to the
crypto subsystems use of GFP_KERNEL, reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200835

* dm-crypt calls crypt_convert in xts mode
* init_crypt from xts.c calls kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
* kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) recurses into the XFS filesystem, the filesystem
	tries to submit some bios and wait for them, causing a deadlock

Fix this by updating both the DM crypt and integrity targets to no
longer use the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag, which will change the
crypto allocations from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC, therefore they can't
recurse into a filesystem.  A GFP_ATOMIC allocation can fail, but
init_crypt() in xts.c handles the allocation failure gracefully - it
will fall back to preallocated buffer if the allocation fails.

The crypto API maintainer says that the crypto API only needs to
allocate memory when dealing with unaligned buffers and therefore
turning CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP off is safe (see this discussion:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-August/msg00195.html )
