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 Restructured Text 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.

Commit 25058d1c ("dm integrity: use bvec_kmap_local in __journal_read_write") didn't account for __journal_read_write() later adding the biovec's bv_offset. As such using bvec_kmap_local() caused the start of the biovec to be skipped. Trivial test that illustrates data corruption: # integritysetup format /dev/pmem0 # integritysetup open /dev/pmem0 integrityroot # mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/integrityroot ... bad magic number bad magic number Metadata corruption detected at xfs_sb block 0x0/0x1000 libxfs_writebufr: write verifer failed on xfs_sb bno 0x0/0x1000 releasing dirty buffer (bulk) to free list! Fix this by using kmap_local_page() instead of bvec_kmap_local() in __journal_read_write().
