I just had a look at noble's master-next tree:
$ git remote get-url origin
git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/noble
$ git branch
* master-next
and found that commit 19c1ceeca8ed is already applied:
$ git log --oneline | grep -n "block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers
in __bio_release_pages"
300:19c1ceeca8ed block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in
__bio_release_pages()
but not yet tagged with (incl. in) any version:
$ git tag --contains 19c1ceeca8ed
$
This is probably because it just came in via upstream stable updates:
$ git show 19c1ceeca8ed | sed '/^diff --git/q'

And since the lastest tagged Ubuntu kernel version in master-next is:
Ubuntu-6.8.0-31.31
$ git log --oneline | grep -n $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
1170:7fdb45c9bbbc (tag: Ubuntu-6.8.0-31.31) UBUNTU: Ubuntu-6.8.0-31.31
commit 19c1ceeca8ed will be automatically part of the next/upcoming
Ubuntu kernel (> Ubuntu-6.8.0-31.31).
With that I'm updating the status of this bug to Fix Committed.

====
This is an issue created by commit 1b151e2435fc ("block: Remove
special-casing of compound pages") that moved the direct-io hugetlb handling
from compound pages to folios.
Following commit has been proposed and merged into 6.9-rc1 which fixes this
issue.
38b43539d64b2fa020b3b9a752a986769f87f7a6("block: Fix page refcounts for
unaligned buffers in __bio_release_pages()")
So the same needs to be backported to the Ubuntu24.04 kernel as well.
