3.2.95-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vitaly Mayatskikh <v.mayatskih@xxxxxxxxx> commit 95d78c28b5a85bacbc29b8dba7c04babb9b0d467 upstream. bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page. bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never dropped.
