There's a race condition when accessing the variable ic->sb->recalc_sector. The function integrity_recalc writes to this variable when it makes some progress and the function dm_integrity_map_continue may read this variable concurrently. One problem is that on 32-bit architectures the 64-bit variable is not read and written atomically - it may be possible to read garbage if read races with write. Another problem is that memory accesses to this variable are not guarded with memory barriers. This commit fixes the race - it moves reading ic->sb->recalc_sector to an earlier place where we hold &ic->endio_wait.lock.

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.
