There may be lots of pending requests so that the buffer of PAGE_SIZE can't hold them at all. One typical example is scsi-mq, the queue depth(.can_queue) of scsi_host and blk-mq is quite big but scsi_device's queue_depth is a bit small(.cmd_per_lun), then it is quite easy to have lots of pending requests in hw queue. This patch fixes the following warning and the related memory destruction.
