Mikulas Patocka 5233c47c8d dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device
commit a666e5c05e7c4aaabb2c5d58117b0946803d03d2 upstream.

The system would deadlock when swapping to a dm-crypt device. The reason
is that for each incoming write bio, dm-crypt allocates memory that holds
encrypted data. These excessive allocations exhaust all the memory and the
result is either deadlock or OOM trigger.

This patch limits the number of in-flight swap bios, so that the memory
consumed by dm-crypt is limited. The limit is enforced if the target set
the "limit_swap_bios" variable and if the bio has REQ_SWAP set.

Non-swap bios are not affected becuase taking the semaphore would cause
performance degradation.

This is similar to request-based drivers - they will also block when the
number of requests is over the limit.

README

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.
