[RFC PATCH] bio-integrity: Copy bip_buf and bip_size in bio_integrity_clone()

[Alberto Bertogli <albertito@blitiri.com.ar>]

Hi!

I'm trying to add bio-integrity support to a device-mapper target I posted
a couple of days ago (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/21/235).

While at it, I found that bio_integrity_clone() does not clone neither bip_buf
nor bip_size, which already copies the bvec, which should have the same data
because it's allocated in bio_integrity_prep().


>From a quick grep, it seems they're only used inside fs/bio-integrity.c, and
through there they get passed to the functions each block device registered
for integrity verification and generation, and used in bio_integrity_tag().

Also, bio_integrity_free() already takes into account that and does not free
bip_buf if it's freeing a cloned bio.


Is there any reason I'm missing why they shouldn't be copied in
bio_integrity_clone(), as illustrated in the following patch?

Thanks a lot,
		Alberto
