It is possible to set up dm-integrity with smaller sector size than
the logical sector size of the underlying device. In this situation,
dm-integrity guarantees that the outgoing bios have the same alignment as
incoming bios (so, if you create a filesystem with 4k block size,
dm-integrity would send 4k-aligned bios to the underlying device).
This guarantee was broken when integrity_recheck was implemented.
integrity_recheck sends bio that is aligned to ic->sectors_per_block. So
if we set up integrity with 512-byte sector size on a device with logical
block size 4k, we would be sending unaligned bio. This triggered a bug in
one of our internal tests.
This commit fixes it by determining the actual alignment of the
incoming bio and then makes sure that the outgoing bio in
integrity_recheck has the same alignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
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.
