[lxc-devel] [PATCH 1/3] fuse/dev: Fix unbalanced calls to kunmap_atomic() during splice I/O

fuse_copy_finish() assumes that mapaddr in fuse_copy_state refers
to a valid mapping if currbuf is non-NULL, but this isn't always
true when moving pages for splice I/O. This results in an
unbalanced call to kunmap_atomic() and thus an unbalanced
decrement of the preempt count. Avoid this by checking that
mapaddr is non-NULL before calling kunmap_atomic().

This can be reproduced easily with fusexmp_fh:

  $ mkdir data mount
  $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=data/rand.bin bs=1M count=1
  $ fusexmp_fh -omodules=subdir,subdir=$PWD/data,splice_write,splice_move mount
  $ cat mount/rand.bin >/dev/null

The bug has existed in its current form since 58bda1da4
"fuse/dev: use atomic maps" and fbb32750a "pipe: kill ->map()
and ->unmap()" converted all unmaps to kunmap_atomic() in 3.15.
The fundamental problem of unmapping a page which hasn't been
mapped goes back farther, probably to ce534fb05 "fuse: allow
splice to move pages," but likely with a different impact.
