When using a block size greater than 512 bytes, the dm-integrity target allocates journal space inefficiently. It allocates one journal entry for each 512-byte chunk of data, fills an entry for each block of data and leaves the remaining entries unused. This issue doesn't cause data corruption, but all the unused journal entries degrade performance severely. For example, with 4k blocks and an 8k bio, it would allocate 16 journal entries but only use 2 entries. The remaining 14 entries were left unused. Fix this by adding the missing 'log2_sectors_per_block' shifts that are required to have each journal entry map to a full block.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
