[PATCH 3.16 184/294] fix unbalanced page refcounting in bio_map_user_iov

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Nov 06 2017 - 19:00:36 EST


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

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

From: Vitaly Mayatskikh <v.mayatskih@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 95d78c28b5a85bacbc29b8dba7c04babb9b0d467 upstream.

bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if
IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never
dropped.
