From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The current code attempts to pin memory using the largest possible wsize
based on the currect SMB credits. This doesn't cause kernel oops but this is
not optimal as we may pin more pages then actually needed.
Fix this by only pinning what are needed for doing this write I/O.
