Hi Herbert,
This patch was created against the current Linus development tree.
The functional test was conducted at the time v3 was aired. The patch
v4 is compile-tested.
Ciao

For asynchronous operation, SGs are allocated without a page mapped to
them or with a page that is not used (ref-counted). If the SGL is freed,
the code must only call put_page for an SG if there was a page assigned
and ref-counted in the first place.
This fixes a kernel crash when using io_submit with more than one iocb
using the sendmsg and sendpage (vmsplice/splice) interface.
