bio_integrity_add_page restricts the size of the integrity metadata to queue_max_hw_sectors(q). This restriction is not needed because oversized bios are split automatically. This restriction causes problems with dm-integrity 'inline' mode - if we send a large bio to dm-integrity and the bio's metadata are larger than queue_max_hw_sectors(q), bio_integrity_add_page fails and the bio is ended with BLK_STS_RESOURCE error. An example that triggers it: dd: error writing '/dev/mapper/in2': Cannot allocate memory 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes copied, 0.00169291 s, 0.0 kB/s Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Fixes:fb0987682c("dm-integrity: introduce the Inline mode") Fixes:0ece1d649b("bio-integrity: create multi-page bvecs in bio_integrity_add_page()") Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Tested-by: Anuj Gupta <anuj20.g@samsung.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e41b3b8e-16c2-70cb-97cb-881234bb200d@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
