Since commit d1ac3ff008fb ("dm verity: switch to using asynchronous hash
crypto API") dm-verity uses asynchronous crypto calls for verification,
so that it can use hardware with asynchronous processing of crypto
operations.
These asynchronous calls don't support vmalloc memory, but the buffer data
can be allocated with vmalloc if dm-bufio is short of memory and uses a
reserved buffer that was preallocated in dm_bufio_client_create().
Fix verity_hash_update() so that it deals with vmalloc'd memory
correctly.

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.
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.
