Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] block: zero non-PI portion of auto integrity buffer
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 10:22:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108172212.1402119-2-csander@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108172212.1402119-1-csander@purestorage.com>
The auto-generated integrity buffer for writes needs to be fully
initialized before being passed to the underlying block device,
otherwise the uninitialized memory can be read back by userspace or
anyone with physical access to the storage device. If protection
information is generated, that portion of the integrity buffer is
already initialized. The integrity data is also zeroed if PI generation
is disabled via sysfs or the PI tuple size is 0. However, this misses
the case where PI is generated and the PI tuple size is nonzero, but the
metadata size is larger than the PI tuple. In this case, the remainder
("opaque") of the metadata is left uninitialized.
Generalize the BLK_INTEGRITY_CSUM_NONE check to cover any case when the
metadata is larger than just the PI tuple.
