Memory we use to submit for IO needs strict alignment to the underlying driver contraints. Worst case, this is 512 bytes. Given that all allocations for IO are always a power of 2 multiple of 512 bytes, the kernel heap provides natural alignment for objects of these sizes and that suffices. Until, of course, memory debugging of some kind is turned on (e.g. red zones, poisoning, KASAN) and then the alignment of the heap objects is thrown out the window. Then we get weird IO errors and data corruption problems because drivers don't validate alignment and do the wrong thing when passed unaligned memory buffers in bios. TO fix this, introduce kmem_alloc_io(), which will guaranteeat least 512 byte alignment of buffers for IO, even if memory debugging options are turned on. It is assumed that the minimum allocation size will be 512 bytes, and that sizes will be power of 2 mulitples of 512 bytes. Use this everywhere we allocate buffers for IO. This no longer fails with log recovery errors when KASAN is enabled due to the brd driver not handling unaligned memory buffers: # mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0 ; mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/test Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
