dm_io_dec_pending() calls end_io_acct() first and will then dec md
in-flight pending count. But if a task is swapping DM table at same
time this can result in a crash due to mempool-&gt;elements being NULL:

Fix this by:
1) Establishing pointers to 'struct dm_io' members in
dm_io_dec_pending() so that they may be passed into end_io_acct()
_after_ free_io() is called.
2) Moving end_io_acct() after free_io().

There is no point in trying to finding the dax device if the DAX flag is
not set on the queue as none of the users of the device mapper exported
block devices could make use of the DAX capability.

The end-users of DM devices/targets may remove and re-create the same
device multiple times.  IMA does not measure such duplicate events if the
configuration CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is set to 'n'.
To avoid confusion, the end-users need some indication on the client
if that configuration option is disabled.

Add a one-time warning during dm_init() if CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE
is set to 'n', to notify the end-users that duplicate events will not
be measured in the ima log. Also cleanup some whitespace in dm_init().

<title>dm ima: measure data on table load</title>

<id>urn:sha1:91ccbbac1747eea155632a1c6bb100052309b215</id>
<content type='text'>
DM configures a block device with various target specific attributes
passed to it as a table.  DM loads the table, and calls each target’s
respective constructors with the attributes as input parameters.
Some of these attributes are critical to ensure the device meets
certain security bar.  Thus, IMA should measure these attributes, to
ensure they are not tampered with, during the lifetime of the device.
So that the external services can have high confidence in the
configuration of the block-devices on a given system.

Some devices may have large tables.  And a given device may change its
state (table-load, suspend, resume, rename, remove, table-clear etc.)
many times.  Measuring these attributes each time when the device
changes its state will significantly increase the size of the IMA logs.
Further, once configured, these attributes are not expected to change
unless a new table is loaded, or a device is removed and recreated.
Therefore the clear-text of the attributes should only be measured
during table load, and the hash of the active/inactive table should be
measured for the remaining device state changes.

Export IMA function ima_measure_critical_data() to allow measurement
of DM device parameters, as well as target specific attributes, during
table load.  Compute the hash of the inactive table and store it for
measurements during future state change.  If a load is called multiple
times, update the inactive table hash with the hash of the latest
populated table.  So that the correct inactive table hash is measured
when the device transitions to different states like resume, remove,
rename, etc.

<title>dm: delay registering the gendisk</title>

<id>urn:sha1:89f871af1b26d98d983cba7ed0e86effa45ba5f8</id>
<content type='text'>
device mapper is currently the only outlier that tries to call
register_disk after add_disk, leading to fairly inconsistent state
of these block layer data structures.  Instead change device-mapper
to just register the gendisk later now that the holder mechanism
can cope with that.

Note that this introduces a user visible change: the dm kobject is
now only visible after the initial table has been loaded.

Move setting md-&gt;type from both callers into dm_setup_md_queue.
This ensures that md-&gt;type is only set to a valid value after the queue
has been fully setup, something we'll rely on future changes.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
   benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.

 - A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.

 - Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
   changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
   required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).

 - Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds an
   optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged with
   REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
   ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
   working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
   ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.
