Title
block: integrity: Do not call set_page_dirty_lock()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: integrity: Do not call set_page_dirty_lock()
Placing multiple protection information buffers inside the same page
can lead to oopses because set_page_dirty_lock() can't be called from
interrupt context.
Since a protection information buffer is not backed by a file there is
no point in setting its page dirty, there is nothing to synchronize.
Drop the call to set_page_dirty_lock() and remove the last argument to
bio_integrity_unpin_bvec().
