[PATCH 0/3] Fix a deadlock in blk-crypto-fallback
Posted by Eric Biggers 1 month, 3 weeks ago
This series fixes a deadlock in blk-crypto-fallback that could occur
when a large WRITE bio was submitted to dm-inlinecrypt.

As a prerequisite, it makes mempool_alloc_bulk() support fallible
allocations in the same way that mempool_alloc() does.

Please consider this series for the block tree for 7.3.

Eric Biggers (3):
  mm: make mempool_alloc_from_pool() return bool
  mm: support fallible mempool_alloc_bulk()
  blk-crypto-fallback: Fix deadlock when encrypting large bio in dm
    layer
