mempool_alloc() cannot fail for GFP_NOIO allocation, so there is no
point testing for failure.
One place the code tested for failure was passing "0" as the GFP
flags. This is most unusual and is probably meant to be GFP_NOIO,
so that is changed.
Also, allocation from ->extra_pool and ->prealloc_pool are repeated
before releasing the previous allocation. This can deadlock if the code
is servicing a write under high memory pressure. To avoid deadlocks,
change these to use GFP_NOWAIT and leave the error handling in place.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- A major update for DM cache that reduces the latency for deciding
whether blocks should migrate to/from the cache. The bio-prison-v2
interface supports this improvement by enabling direct dispatch of
work to workqueues rather than having to delay the actual work
dispatch to the DM cache core. So the dm-cache policies are much more
nimble by being able to drive IO as they see fit. One immediate
benefit from the improved latency is a cache that should be much more
adaptive to changing workloads.
- Add a new DM integrity target that emulates a block device that has
additional per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity
information.
- Add a new authenticated encryption feature to the DM crypt target
that builds on the capabilities provided by the DM integrity target.
- Add MD interface for switching the raid4/5/6 journal mode and update
the DM raid target to use it to enable aid4/5/6 journal write-back
support.
- Switch the DM verity target over to using the asynchronous hash
crypto API (this helps work better with architectures that have
access to off-CPU algorithm providers, which should reduce CPU
utilization).
- Various request-based DM and DM multipath fixes and improvements from
Bart and Christoph.
- A DM thinp target fix for a bio structure leak that occurs for each
discard IFF discard passdown is enabled.
- A fix for a possible deadlock in DM bufio and a fix to re-check the
new buffer allocation watermark in the face of competing admin
changes to the 'max_cache_size_bytes' tunable.
- A couple DM core cleanups.

Use of the synchronous digest API limits dm-verity to using pure
CPU based algorithm providers and rules out the use of off CPU
algorithm providers which are normally asynchronous by nature,
potentially freeing CPU cycles.
This can reduce performance per Watt in situations such as during
boot time when a lot of concurrent file accesses are made to the
protected volume.

If the hash tree itself is sufficiently corrupt in addition to data blocks,
it's possible for error correction to end up in a deep recursive loop,
which eventually causes a kernel panic. This change limits the
recursion to a reasonable level during a single I/O operation.

do_div was replaced with div64_u64 at some point, causing a bug with
block calculation due to incompatible semantics of the two functions.

Add support for correcting corrupted blocks using Reed-Solomon.
This code uses RS(255, N) interleaved across data and hash
blocks. Each error-correcting block covers N bytes evenly
distributed across the combined total data, so that each byte is a
maximum distance away from the others. This makes it possible to
recover from several consecutive corrupted blocks with relatively
small space overhead.
In addition, using verity hashes to locate erasures nearly doubles
the effectiveness of error correction. Being able to detect
corrupted blocks also improves performance, because only corrupted
blocks need to corrected.
For a 2 GiB partition, RS(255, 253) (two parity bytes for each
253-byte block) can correct up to 16 MiB of consecutive corrupted
blocks if erasures can be located, and 8 MiB if they cannot, with
16 MiB space overhead.
