From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx>
In order to avoid wasting cache space, we do not want to cache any partial
block at the end of the origin device.
This patch fixes accesses past the end of the origin device whilst trying
to promote an undetected partial block with respect to:
- recognizing access to the partial block
- avoiding out of bounds access to the discard bitset
- initializing the per bio data struct to allow cache_end_io to work properly
An example of the flaw in the kernel log:
[1460175.271246] dm-5: rw=0, want=20971520, limit=20971456
[1460175.271969] device-mapper: cache: promotion failed; couldn't copy block
