Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in __bio_release_pages()

Fix an incorrect number of pages being released for buffers that do not
start at the beginning of a page.

Fixes: 1b151e2435fc ("block: Remove special-casing of compound pages")
Cc: [email protected]
Signed-off-by: Tony Battersby <[email protected]>

Tested with 6.1.79. The 6.1 backport can just use
folio_put_refs(fi.folio, nr_pages) instead of do {...} while.

Actually it would be:

ssize_t done = -offset_in_page(offset);

But then you have signed vs. unsigned comparison in the while(), or you
could rearrange the loop to avoid the negative, but then it gets clunky.

I developed the patch with the 6.1 stable series, which just has:

nr_pages = (fi.offset + fi.length - 1) / PAGE_SIZE -
fi.offset / PAGE_SIZE + 1;
folio_put_refs(fi.folio, nr_pages);

Which is another reason that I went for the direct nr_pages
calculation.  Would you still prefer the negative offset_in_page() approach?

This resolves the QEMU hugetlb issue I noted earlier today here [1].
I tested it on 6.1.79, 6.8-rc6 and linux-next-20240229. Thank you!

Oh, I see what I did. Wouldn't a simpler fix be to just set "done" to
offset_in_page(fi.offset)?

The long-term path here, I think, is to replace this bio_release_page()
with a bio_release_folio(folio, offset, length) which calls into
a new unpin_user_folio(folio, nr) which calls gup_put_folio().

Jens, can I get this added to 6.8 (or 6.9 if it is too late)?

Thanks,
Tony

Let's just go for 6.9 at this pount, we're almost there. I'll queue it
up.
