Commit 15b23ef5d348 ("nfsd4: fix corruption of NFSv4 read data")
encountered exactly the same issue: after a splice read, a
filesystem-owned page is left in rq_pages[]; the symptoms are the
same as described there.
If the computed number of pages in nfsd4_encode_splice_read() is not
exactly the same as the actual number of pages that were consumed by
nfsd_splice_actor() (say, because of a bug) then hilarity ensues.
Instead of recomputing the page offset based on the size of the
payload, use rq_next_page, which is already properly updated by
nfsd_splice_actor(), to cause svc_rqst_release_pages() to operate
correctly in every instance.
This is a defensive change since we believe that after commit
27c934dd8832 ("nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a
continuation of last page") has been applied, there are no known
opportunities for nfsd_splice_actor() to screw up. So I'm not
marking it for stable backport.

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.
