Looks leaky, you probably ment:
while (--last_page >= 0)
__free_page(buf->pages[last_page]);
return -ENOMEM;
But that still underflows 'last_page', so:
while (last_page--)
__free_page(buf->pages[last_page]);
return -ENOMEM;

That makes the reader double check the type of 'pages', why not:
buf->pages[last_page] = pages[i];
