FSDAX page refcounts are 1-based, rather than 0-based: if refcount is
1, then the page is freed.  The FSDAX pages can be pinned through GUP,
then they will be unpinned via unpin_user_page() using a folio variant
to put the page, however, folio variants did not consider this special
case, the result will be to miss a wakeup event (like the user of
__fuse_dax_break_layouts()).  Since FSDAX pages are only possible get
by GUP users, so fix GUP instead of folio_put() to lower overhead.

What are the user visible runtime effects of this bug?

"missing wake up event" seems pretty obvious to me?  Something goes to
sleep waiting for a page to become unused, and is never woken.

No, missed wakeups are often obscured by another wakeup coming in
shortly afterwards.

If this wakeup is not one of these, then are there reports from the
softlockup detector?

Do we have reports of processes permanently stuck in D state?

I need to clarify the task will never be woken up.

No. The task is in an TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state (see __fuse_dax_break_layouts). 
The hung task reporter only reports D task (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE).

Thanks.

Thanks, I updated the changelog a bit.

: FSDAX page refcounts are 1-based, rather than 0-based: if refcount is
: 1, then the page is freed.  The FSDAX pages can be pinned through GUP,
: then they will be unpinned via unpin_user_page() using a folio variant
: to put the page, however, folio variants did not consider this special
: case, the result will be to miss a wakeup event (like the user of
: __fuse_dax_break_layouts()).  This results in a task being permanently
: stuck in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state.
: 
: Since FSDAX pages are only possibly obtained by GUP users, so fix GUP
: instead of folio_put() to lower overhead.

I believe these details are helpful for -stable maintainers who are
wondering why they were sent stuff.  Also for maintainers of
downstreeam older kernels who are scratching heads over some user bug
report, trying to find a patch which might fix it - for this they want
to see a description of the user-visible effects, for matching with
that bug report.
