Revert the commit7a5b96b478("dm integrity: use discard support when recalculating"). There's a bug that when we write some data beyond the current recalculate boundary, the checksum will be rewritten with the discard filler later. And the data will no longer have integrity protection. There's no easy fix for this case. Also, another problematic case is if dm-integrity is used to detect bitrot (random device errors, bit flips, etc); dm-integrity should detect that even for unused sectors. With commit7a5b96b478it can happen that such change is undetected (because discard filler is not a valid checksum).

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.
