Subject: [RFC PATCH] bio integrity: do not assume bio_integrity_pool exists if bioset exists
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 12:57:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150701165740.GA1573@redhat.com> (raw)

bio_integrity_alloc() and bio_integrity_free() assume that if a bio was
allocated from a bioset that that bioset also had its bio_integrity_pool
allocated using bioset_integrity_create().  This is a very bad
assumption given that bioset_create() and bioset_integrity_create() are
completely disjoint.  Not all callers of bioset_create() have been
trained to also call bioset_integrity_create() -- and they may not care
to be.

Fix this by falling back to kmalloc'ing 'struct bio_integrity_payload'
rather than force all bioset consumers to (wastefully) preallocate a
bio_integrity_pool that they very likely won't actually need (given the
niche nature of the current block integrity support).

Otherwise, a NULL pointer "Kernel BUG" with a trace like the following
will be observed (as seen on s390x using zfcp storage) because dm-io
doesn't use bioset_integrity_create() when creating its bioset:

NOTE: this serves as a more generic fix in the block layer rather than
the dm-io specific fix which isn't ideal (due to potential for memory
waste), see:
