Hi! I'm trying to add bio-integrity support to a device-mapper target I posted a couple of days ago (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/21/235). While at it, I found that bio_integrity_clone() does not clone neither bip_buf nor bip_size, which already copies the bvec, which should have the same data because it's allocated in bio_integrity_prep(). >From a quick grep, it seems they're only used inside fs/bio-integrity.c, and through there they get passed to the functions each block device registered for integrity verification and generation, and used in bio_integrity_tag(). Also, bio_integrity_free() already takes into account that and does not free bip_buf if it's freeing a cloned bio. Is there any reason I'm missing why they shouldn't be copied in bio_integrity_clone(), as illustrated in the following patch?
