4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stephan Mueller <smuel...@chronox.de>
commit 445a582738de6802669aeed9c33ca406c23c3b1f upstream.
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.
