[PATCH 0/6] block: fix integrity offset/length conversions

The block layer's integrity code currently sets the seed (initial
reference tag) in units of 512-byte sectors but increments it in units
of integrity intervals. Not only do the T10 DIF formats require ref tags
to be the lower bits of the logical block address, but mixing the two
units means the ref tags used for a particular logical block vary based
on its offset within a read/write request. This looks to be a
longstanding bug affecting block devices that support integrity with
block sizes > 512 bytes; I'm surprised it wasn't noticed before.

Also fix the newly added fs_bio_integrity_verify() to pass
bio_integrity_verify() a struct bdev_iter representing the data instead
of the integrity. Most of the integrity data is currently being skipped.

Caleb Sander Mateos (6):
  blk-integrity: take sector_t in bio_integrity_intervals()
  block: use integrity interval instead of sector as seed
  bio-integrity-fs: pass data iter to bio_integrity_verify()
  bio-integrity-fs: use integrity interval instead of sector as seed
  t10-pi: use bio_integrity_intervals() helper
  target: use bio_integrity_intervals() helper
