Hi, 'pages' retrived by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages() may point to same page, and finally they can be merged to the same page in bio_add_page(), then page leak can be caused because bio_release_pages() only drops the page ref once. Fixes this issue by dropping the extra page ref. V2: - V1 breaks multi-page merge, and fix it and only put the page ref if the added page is really the 'same page' Ming Lei (2): block: introduce 'enum bvec_merge_flags' for __bio_try_merge_page block: fix page leak in case of merging to same page block/bio.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------- fs/iomap.c | 3 ++- fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c | 3 ++- include/linux/bio.h | 9 ++++++++- 4 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) Cc: David Gibson <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Darrick J.
