I'm writing this device mapper target that stores checksums on writes and verifies them on reads.I have not looked at your patch, but does this tie into the integrity logic that was added to mainline a few months ago?
At the moment it has no relation, but making dm-csum devices register with the bio integrity extensions is on my to-do list, and the on-disk format already reserves 32 bits for every 512-byte sector for tagging purposes. Thanks, Alberto
