the buffer of a bio.

commit a3761c3c91209b58b6f33bf69dd8bb8ec0c9d925 upstream.

When bio_add_pc_page() fails in bio_copy_user_iov() we should free
the page we just allocated otherwise we are leaking it.

[ Upstream commit d6c02a9beb67f13d5f14f23e72fa9981e8b84477 ]

In commit ed996a52c868 ("block: simplify and cleanup bvec pool
handling"), the value of the slab index is incremented by one in
bvec_alloc() after the allocation is done to indicate an index value of
0 does not need to be later freed.

bvec_nr_vecs() was not updated accordingly, and thus returns the wrong
value.  Decrement idx before performing the lookup.

commit bd5c4facf59648581d2f1692dad7b107bf429954 upstream.

I'm getting a slab named "biovec-(1&lt;&lt;(21-12))". It is caused by unintended
expansion of the macro BIO_MAX_PAGES. This patch renames it to biovec-max.

commit 1cfd0ddd82232804e03f3023f6a58b50dfef0574 upstream.

Since "block: support large requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov" we
started to call it with partially drained iter; that works fine
on the write side, but reads create a copy of iter for completion
time.  And that needs to take the possibility of -&gt;iov_iter != 0
into account...

we need to take care of failure exit as well - pages already
in bio should be dropped by analogue of bio_unmap_pages(),
since their refcounts had been bumped only once per reference
in bio.

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.

commit f5fe1b51905df7cfe4fdfd85c5fb7bc5b71a094f upstream.

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current-&gt;bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current-&gt;bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

references remain in comments and documentation.
