There is a memory leak in the st driver when sending large enough reads or writes using st's direct I/O path. As part of mapping the application's memory, a buffer to hold page pointers is allocated and the count of mapped pages is stored in field do_dio. A non-zero do_dio marks that direct I/O is in use. But do_dio is only 1 byte in size. Mapping 256 4k pages overflows do_dio and causes it to be set to 0, like direct I/O option was not used. When the I/O completes, the buffer to hold the page pointers is not freed, and the page counts of the mapped pages are not reduced. Every I/O of this size then leaks memory. The size of do_dio needs to be increased to prevent it wrapping around.
