The recent fix to properly handle IOCB_NOWAIT for async O_DIRECT IO (patch 6a43074e2f46) introduced two problems with BIO fragment handling for direct IOs: 1) The dio size processed is calculated by incrementing the ret variable by the size of the bio fragment issued for the dio. However, this size is obtained directly from bio->bi_iter.bi_size AFTER the bio submission which may result in referencing the bi_size value after the bio completed, resulting in an incorrect value use. 2) The ret variable is not incremented by the size of the last bio fragment issued for the bio, leading to an invalid IO size being returned to the user. Fix both problem by using dio->size (which is incremented before the bio submission) to update the value of ret after bio submissions, including for the last bio fragment issued.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
