I noted in the last series how this could be negative and then crash:

This can be fixed as follows:

diff --git a/block/fops.c b/block/fops.c
index eb599a173ef0..936ed207b5dc 100644
--- a/block/fops.c
+++ b/block/fops.c
@@ -536,9 +536,13 @@ static int blkdev_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)

With that:
