      dm: improve block integrity support · a63a5cf8
      Mike Snitzer authored
      
      The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
      all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
      is past the point of no return).  To some degree that is unavoidable
      (stacked DM devices force this late checking).  But for most DM
      devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
      verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.
      
      Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
      that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
      template.  Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
      profile was initialized.
      
      Update DM integrity support to:
      - check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
        during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
        device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
      - disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
        conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
      - avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
      - validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
        don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
        the point of no return)

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        bloc...
