block: reject zero length in bio_add_page()
The function bio_add_page() returns the number of bytes added to the
bio, and if that failed it should return 0.
However there is a special quirk, if a caller is passing a page with
length 0, that function will always return 0 but with different results:
- The page is added to the bio
If there is enough bvec slot or the folio can be merged with the last
bvec.
The return value 0 is just the length passed in, which is also 0.
- The page is not added to the bio
If the page is not mergeable with the last bvec, or there is no bvec
slot available.
The return value 0 means page is not added into the bio.
Unfortunately the caller is not able to distinguish the above two cases,
and will treat the 0 return value as page addition failure.
In that case, this can lead to the double releasing of the last page:
- By the bio cleanup
Which normally goes through every page of the bio, including the last
page which is added into the bio.
- By the caller
Which believes the page is not added into the bio, thus would manually
release the page.
I do not think anyone should call bio_add_folio()/bio_add_page() with zero
length, but idiots like me can still show up.
So add an extra WARN_ON_ONCE() check for zero length and rejects it
early to avoid double freeing.
