dm-bufio has a no-sleep mode. When activated (with the
DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag), the bufio client is read-only and we
could call dm_bufio_get from tasklets. This is used by dm-verity.
Unfortunately, commit 450e8dee51aa ("dm bufio: improve concurrent IO
performance") broke this and the kernel would warn that cache_get()
was calling down_read() from no-sleeping context. The bug can be
reproduced by using "veritysetup open" with the "--use-tasklets"
flag.
This commit fixes dm-bufio, so that the tasklet mode works again, by
expanding use of the 'no_sleep_enabled' static_key to conditionally
use either a rw_semaphore or rwlock_t (which are colocated in the
buffer_tree structure using a union).

============
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.
