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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
