Hi David,

Here is the detail steps how I leaked this uncompleted patch to you,
1) Add WARN_ONCE() as WARN_ON() to kernel_sendpage(). Maybe I was still
hesitating when I typed WARN_ONCE() on keyboard.
2) Generate the patches, prepare to post
3) Hmm, compiling failed, oh it is WARN_ONCE(). Yeah, WARN_ONCE() might
be more informative and better.
4) Modify to use WARN_ONCE() and compile and try, looks fine.
5) Re-generate the patches to overwrite the previous ones.
6) Post the patches.

The missing part was, before I post the patches, I should do rebase and
commit the change, but (interrupted by other stuffs) it skipped in my
mind. Although I regenerated the series but the change was not included.
The result was, uncompleted patch posted and the second-half change
still stayed in my local file.

Only 0002-net-add-WARN_ONCE-in-kernel_sendpage-for-improper-ze.patch was
tested in v9 series, other tests were done in previous versions.

And not all the patches in the series were tested. Here is the testing
coverage of the series:

The following ones were tested and verified to break nothing and avoid
the mm corruption and panic,
0001-net-introduce-helper-sendpage_ok-in-include-linux-ne.patch
0002-net-add-WARN_ONCE-in-kernel_sendpage-for-improper-ze.patch
0003-nvme-tcp-check-page-by-sendpage_ok-before-calling-ke.patch
0006-scsi-libiscsi-use-sendpage_ok-in-iscsi_tcp_segment_m.patch

The following ones were not tested, due to complicated environment setup,
0005-drbd-code-cleanup-by-using-sendpage_ok-to-check-page.patch
0007-libceph-use-sendpage_ok-in-ceph_tcp_sendpage.patch

This patch I didn't explicitly test, due to lack of knowledge to modify
network code to trigger a buggy condition. It just went with other
tested patches,
0004-tcp-use-sendpage_ok-to-detect-misused-.sendpage.patch


Back to the built failure, I don't have excuse for leaking this
uncompleted version to you. Of cause I will try to avoid to
inefficiently occupy maintainer's time by such silly mess up.

Thanks for your review and the thorough maintenance.
