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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEJfWUX4UqZ4x1O2wixSPxCi2dA1oFAmW9LCsACgkQxSPxCi2d A1qILwgAmL9XOtavSKJ/8o9scJygutYpNSLE0f6mdkdCgJB2nknJ1vR38bXyDpNr X3s6QC5TqKTtG7DtRTfnZc8zgtBHajjUZTFBu1NUF9kgNQcrjG3jW+quZ51pxkV0 1rvzOiYts6ca8csbFViMPS9FJVq1h3PnAyrkhI0SUS7+jEvDZy/QIX4DP20ye9SX wKguOSK544haSLHPNYuZqqCEoTBF+Vh1k1gDkxr594NwjsIJJK0+HGelamjzN/96 /jr88P4bm/6OIVdvwTUefnpIhNIum1Dfa8QWciKOzuct0jqsub65+SUSoTLmoiY4 /3AZDvp0ZMEwpMAvCIyvHnm81K72MA== =sioN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-6.8/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm 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.

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.
