The block layer PI generation / verification code expects the bio_vecs to have at least LBA size (or more correctly integrity internal) granularity. With the direct I/O alignment relaxation in 2022, user space can now feed bios with less alignment than that, leading to scribbling outside the PI buffers. Apparently this wasn't noticed so far because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since851c4c96db("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr"), xfstests generic/013 by default generates such I/O now that the relaxed alignment is advertised by the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl. Fix this by increasing the required alignment when using PI, although handling arbitrary alignment in the long run would be even nicer.

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 reStructuredText 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.
