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.
