This was fixed by Edwards patch.

I'm not sure this is needed nor is it a bug.

        while (p < nr_pages) {
                struct page *page = virt_to_page((void 
*)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);
                int off = 0;

                if (WARN_ON_ONCE(s >= nr_subbufs)) {
                        err = -EINVAL;
                        goto out;
                }

The WARN_ON_ONCE() suggests that this should never happen. And I believe it 
shouldn't.

I'm fine if you want to make the change to:

        while (p < nr_pages) {
                struct page *page;
                int off = 0;

                if (WARN_ON_ONCE(s >= nr_subbufs)) {
                        err = -EINVAL;
                        goto out;
                }

                page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);

But it's not a bug fix. It's simply a cleanup that can wait till the next
merge window.
