loop is one block device, for any bio submitted to this device, the upper layer does guarantee that pages added to loop's bio won't go away when the bio is in-flight. So mark loop's bvec as ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF then get_page/put_page can be saved for serving loop's IO.

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.
