      Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "A bigger than usual pull request for SELinux, 13 patches (lucky!)
  along with a scary looking diffstat.

  Although if you look a bit closer, excluding the usual minor
  tweaks/fixes, there are really only two significant changes in this
  pull request: the addition of proper SELinux access controls for SCTP
  and the encapsulation of a lot of internal SELinux state.

  The SCTP changes are the result of a multi-month effort (maybe even a
  year or longer?) between the SELinux folks and the SCTP folks to add
  proper SELinux controls. A special thanks go to Richard for seeing
  this through and keeping the effort moving forward.

  The state encapsulation work is a bit of janitorial work that came out
  of some early work on SELinux namespacing. The question of namespacing
  is still an open one, but I believe there is some real value in the
  encapsulation work so we've split that out and are now sending that up
  to you"

      Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "We didn't have anything to send for v4.16, but we're back with a
  little more than usual for v4.17.

  Eleven patches in total, most fall into the small fix category, but
  there are three non-trivial changes worth calling out:

   - the audit entry filter is being removed after deprecating it for
     quite a while (years of no one really using it because it turns out
     to be not very practical)

   - created our own version of "__mutex_owner()" because the locking
     folks were upset we were using theirs

   - improved our handling of kernel command line parameters to make
     them more forgiving

   - we fixed auditing of symlink operations

  Everything passes the audit-testsuite and as of a few minutes ago it
  merges well with your tree"

* tag 'audit-pr-20180403' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:

  audit: remove path param from link denied function

      Merge tag 'for-4.17/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to retain reference to DM table, and
   that table's block devices, while issuing the ioctl to one of those
   block devices.

 - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to _not_ override the fmode_t used to
   issue the ioctl. Overriding by using the fmode_t that the block
   device was originally open with during DM table load is a liability.

 - Add DM core support for secure erase forwarding and update the DM
   linear and DM striped targets to support them.

 - A DM core 4.16 stable fix to allow abnormal IO (e.g. discard, write
   same, write zeroes) for targets that make use of the non-splitting IO
   variant (as is done for multipath or thinp when layered directly on
   NVMe).

 - Allow DM targets to return a payload in response to a DM message that
   they are sent. This is useful for DM targets that would like to
   provide statistics data in response to DM messages.

 - Update DM bufio to support non-power-of-2 block sizes. Numerous other
   related changes prepare the DM bufio code for this support.

 - Fix DM crypt to use a bounded amount of memory across the entire
   system. This is to avoid OOM that can otherwise occur in response to
   certain pathological IO workloads (e.g. discarding a large DM crypt
   device).

 - Add a 'check_at_most_once' feature to the DM verity target to allow
   verity to be used on mobile devices that have very limited resources.

 - Fix the DM integrity target to fail early if a keyed algorithm (e.g.
   HMAC) is to be used but the key isn't set.

 - Add non-power-of-2 support to the DM unstripe target.

 - Eliminate the use of a Variable Length Array in the DM stripe target.

 - Update the DM log-writes target to record metadata (REQ_META flag).

 - DM raid fixes for its nosync status and some variable range issues.
