commit1c78544eaaupstream. When faulting in the pages for the user supplied buffer for the search ioctl, we are passing only the base address of the buffer to the function fault_in_pages_writeable(). This means that after the first iteration of the while loop that searches for leaves, when we have a non-zero offset, stored in 'sk_offset', we try to fault in a wrong page range. So fix this by adding the offset in 'sk_offset' to the base address of the user supplied buffer when calling fault_in_pages_writeable(). Several users have reported that the applications compsize and bees have started to operate incorrectly since commita48b73eca4("btrfs: fix potential deadlock in the search ioctl") was added to stable trees, and these applications make heavy use of the search ioctls. This fixes their issues.

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.
