[PATCH 00/12] block/bio, fs: convert put_page() to put_user_page*()
...nt to call put_user_page* on it. ITER_BVEC always already has page reference, which means in the block direct I/O path path we alread don't take a page reference. We should extent that handling to all other calls of iov_iter_get_pages / iov_iter_get_pages_alloc. I think we should just reject ITER_KVEC for direct I/O as well as we have no users and it is rather pointless. Alternatively if we see a use for it the callers should always have a life page reference anyway (or might be on kmalloc memory), so we really should not take a reference either. In other words: the only time we should ever h...

[PATCH 00/12] block/bio, fs: convert put_page() to put_user_page*()
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard at nvidia.com> Hi, This is mostly Jerome's work, converting the block/bio and related areas to call put_user_page*() instead of put_page(). Because I've changed Jerome's patches, in some cases significantly, I'd like to get his feedback before we actually leave him listed as the author (he might want to disown some or all of these). I added a
