Hi,

'pages' retrived by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages() may point to same page,
and finally they can be merged to same page too in bio_add_page(),
then page leak can be caused.

Fixes this issue by dropping the extra page ref.


Ming Lei (2):
  block: introduce 'enum bvec_merge_flags' for __bio_try_merge_page
  block: fix page leak in case of merging to same page
