This means btrfs_submit_bio() would split the bio, and trigger endio function for both of the two halves.  However scrub_submit_initial_read() would only expect the endio function to be called once, not any more. This means the first endio function would already free the bbio::bio, leaving the bvec freed, thus the 2nd endio call would lead to use-after-free.  [FIX] - Make sure scrub_read_endio() only updates bits in its range   Since we may read less than 64K at the end of the chunk, we should not   touch the bits beyond chunk boundary.  - Make sure scrub_submit_initial_read() only to read the chunk range   This is done by calculating the real number of sectors we need to   read, and add sector-by-sector to the bio.  Thankfully the scrub read repair path won\u0027t need extra fixes:  - scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read()   With above fixes, we won\u0027t update error bit for range beyond chunk,   thus scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read() should never submit any read   beyond the chunk.",
