dm-crypt: recheck the integrity tag after a failure
commit 42e15d12 upstream. If a userspace process reads (with O_DIRECT) multiple blocks into the same buffer, dm-crypt reports an authentication error [1]. The error is reported in a log and it may cause RAID leg being kicked out of the array. This commit fixes dm-crypt, so that if integrity verification fails, the data is read again into a kernel buffer (where userspace can't modify it) and the integrity tag is rechecked. If the recheck succeeds, the content of the kernel buffer is copied into the user buffer; if the recheck fails, an integrity error is reported.
