The commit 5721d4e5a9cd enhanced dm-verity, so that it can verify blocks from tasklets rather than from workqueues. This reportedly improves performance significantly. However, dm-verity was using the flag CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP from tasklets which resulted in warnings about sleeping function being called from non-sleeping context. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at crypto/internal.h:206 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0 preempt_count: 100, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 CPU: 0 PID: 14 Comm: ksoftirqd/0 Tainted: G W 6.7.0-rc1 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x32/0x50 __might_resched+0x110/0x160 crypto_hash_walk_done+0x54/0xb0 shash_ahash_update+0x51/0x60 verity_hash_update.isra.0+0x4a/0x130 [dm_verity] verity_verify_io+0x165/0x550 [dm_verity] ? free_unref_page+0xdf/0x170 ? psi_group_change+0x113/0x390 verity_tasklet+0xd/0x70 [dm_verity] tasklet_action_common.isra.0+0xb3/0xc0 __do_softirq+0xaf/0x1ec ? smpboot_thread_fn+0x1d/0x200 ? sort_range+0x20/0x20 run_ksoftirqd+0x15/0x30 smpboot_thread_fn+0xed/0x200 kthread+0xdc/0x110 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x28/0x40 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 </TASK> This commit fixes dm-verity so that it doesn't use the flags CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP and CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG from tasklets. The crypto API would do GFP_ATOMIC allocation instead, it could return -ENOMEM and we catch -ENOMEM in verity_tasklet and requeue the request to the workqueue.

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.
