[PATCH v2 2/7] nfs: Track number of pinned pages in nfs_page

From: Pranjal Shrivastava

Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 09:44:39 EST


Track the number of pinned pages in nfs_page to handle unpinning
correctly, ensuring that only primary requests perform the final
unpinning operation, preventing subrequests from incorrectly
performing unpinning on behalf of their parent requests.

Add wb_nr_pinned to struct nfs_page to store the count of pinned pages
owned by the request. Update request creation and cleanup helpers to
initialize and use wb_nr_pinned for primary requests. Use the
nfs_page_array_len() helper to calculate the number of pages spanned
by a request's offset and length.
