The design principle of the immutable bio_vecs for the data path is that BIO_CLONED is just a debug aid and no code should check it. I'd much prefer to keep that invariant for metadata. > diff --git a/block/bio-integrity.c b/block/bio-integrity.c > index 845d4038afb1..8f07c4d0fada 100644 > --- a/block/bio-integrity.c > +++ b/block/bio-integrity.c > @@ -147,7 +147,8 @@ void bio_integrity_free(struct bio *bio) > struct bio_integrity_payload *bip = bio_integrity(bio); > struct bio_set *bs = bio->bi_pool; > > - if (bip->bip_flags & BIP_INTEGRITY_USER) > + if (bip->bip_flags & BIP_INTEGRITY_USER && > + !(bip->bip_flags & BIP_CLONED)) > return; > if (bip->bip_flags & BIP_BLOCK_INTEGRITY) > kfree(bvec_virt(bip->bip_vec)); ... and the right way to approach this is to clean up the mess that we have in bio_integrity_free, which probably needs a split up to deal wit hthe different cases: - block layer auto-generated bip_vecs we need it called where it is right now, but that side can now unconditionally free the data pointed to by the bip_vec - for callers that supply PI data themselves, including from user space, the caller needs to call __bio_integrity_free and clear bi_integrity and REQ_INTEGRITY this is probably best done by moving the bip_flags checks out of bio_integrity_free and have bio_integrity_free just do the unconditional freeing, and have a new helper for __bio_integrity_endio / bio_integrity_verify_fn to also free the payload.
