Christoph Hellwig 4c8cf6bd28 block: require LBA dma_alignment when using PI
The block layer PI generation / verification code expects the bio_vecs
to have at least LBA size (or more correctly integrity internal)
granularity.  With the direct I/O alignment relaxation in 2022, user
space can now feed bios with less alignment than that, leading to
scribbling outside the PI buffers.  Apparently this wasn't noticed so far
because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since 851c4c96db
("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr"), xfstests
generic/013 by default generates such I/O now that the relaxed alignment
is advertised by the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl.

Fix this by increasing the required alignment when using PI, although
handling arbitrary alignment in the long run would be even nicer.

Fixes: bf8d08532b ("iomap: add support for dma aligned direct-io")
Fixes: b1a000d3b8 ("block: relax direct io memory alignment")

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.
