jbd2_alloc() allocates a buffer from slab when the block size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE, and slab may be using a compound page. Before commit8147c4c454, we set b_page to the precise page containing the buffer and this code worked well. Now we set b_page to the head page of the allocation, so we can no longer use offset_in_page(). While we could do a 1:1 replacement with offset_in_folio(), use the more idiomatic bh_offset() and the folio APIs to map the buffer. This isn't enough to support a b_size larger than PAGE_SIZE on HIGHMEM machines, but this is good enough to fix the actual bug we're seeing.

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.
