[PATCH] ublk: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in ublk_unmap_io()

From: Caleb Sander Mateos

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 12:25:54 EST


io->res is set from struct ublksrv_io_cmd's result field, which is
controlled by the ublk server process, without any validation. It's thus
possible for userspace to trigger the io->res > rq_bytes warning.
ublk_copy_user_pages() already limits the copy length to the request
data length, so drop the warning.
