From f7879b4cea4b7867e7382efdbd805fbe35835337 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2018 08:33:00 -0400 Subject: dm bufio: fix buffer alignment Commit 6b5e718cc138 ("dm bufio: relax alignment constraint on slab cache") relaxed alignment on dm-bufio cache, however it may break dm-crypt or dm-integrity. dm-crypt and dm-integrity require that the size of bio vector entries (bv_len) is aligned on its sector size. bv_offset doesn't have to be aligned, but bv_len must be. XFS sends unaligned bios, but they do not cross page boundary, so the requirement for aligned bv_len is met. Commit 6b5e718cc138 made dm-bufio send unaligned bios that cross page boundary, this could break dm-crypt and dm-integrity. Reinstates the alignment. Note that misaligned entries only happen when we use slab/slub debugging. Without debugging, the entries are always aligned.
