When slub_debug is enabled kmalloc returns unaligned memory. XFS uses
this unaligned memory for its buffers (if an unaligned buffer crosses a
page, XFS frees it and allocates a full page instead - see the function
xfs_buf_allocate_memory).
dm-integrity checks if bv_offset is aligned on page size and this check
fail with slub_debug and XFS.
Fix this bug by removing the bv_offset check, leaving only the check for
bv_len.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
