Subject: bio integrity: do not assume bio_integrity_pool exists if bioset
exists
commit bb8bd38b9a1685334b73e8c62e128cbedb875867 upstream.
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:
