[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 100/118] block: Do a full clone when splitting discard bios

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Wed Aug 12 2015 - 05:09:35 EST


3.16.7-ckt16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f3f5da624e0a891c34d8cd513c57f1d9b0c7dadc upstream.

This fixes a data corruption bug when using discard on top of MD linear,
raid0 and raid10 personalities.

Commit 20d0189b1012 "block: Introduce new bio_split()" permits sharing
the bio_vec between the two resulting bios. That is fine for read/write
requests where the bio_vec is immutable. For discards, however, we need
to be able to attach a payload and update the bio_vec so the page can
get mapped to a scatterlist entry. Therefore the bio_vec can not be
shared when splitting discards and we must do a full clone.
