Hi

I'd like to ask to remove these two patches:

>       dm crypt: sleep and retry on allocation errors
>       dm integrity: sleep and retry on allocation errors

Retrying the request in dm-crypt is not safe because crypt_convert_block 
already advanced to the next block (even in the case of allocation failure 
and an error).

We must retry in crypt_convert_block_skcipher, now I am trying to find out 
how to do it properly.
