commit 9177f3c0dea6143d05cac1bbd28668fd0e216d11 upstream. If a userspace process reads (with O_DIRECT) multiple blocks into the same buffer, dm-verity reports an error [1]. This commit fixes dm-verity, so that if hash verification fails, the data is read again into a kernel buffer (where userspace can't modify it) and the hash is rechecked. If the recheck succeeds, the content of the kernel buffer is copied into the user buffer; if the recheck fails, an error is reported.

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.
