[PATCH 3.2 067/164] dm raid: ensure superblock's size matches device's logical block size

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.65-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 40d43c4b4cac4c2647bf07110d7b07d35f399a84 upstream.

The dm-raid superblock (struct dm_raid_superblock) is padded to 512
bytes and that size is being used to read it in from the metadata
device into one preallocated page.

Reading or writing this on a 512-byte sector device works fine but on
a 4096-byte sector device this fails.

Set the dm-raid superblock's size to the logical block size of the
metadata device, because IO at that size is guaranteed too work.  Also
add a size check to avoid silent partial metadata loss in case the
superblock should ever grow past the logical block size or PAGE_SIZE.

[includes pointer math fix from Dan Carpenter]
