In snapshot_write_next sync_read is set and unset in three different spots unnecessiarly. As a result there is a subtle bug where the first page after the meta data has been loaded unconditionally sets sync_read to 0. If this first pfn was actually a highmem page then the returned buffer will be the global "buffer," and the page needs to be loaded synchronously.
That is, I'm not sure we can always assume the following to be safe: handle->buffer = get_buffer(&orig_bm, &ca); handle->sync_read = 0;
Because get_buffer can call get_highmem_page_buffer which can return 'buffer'
The easiest way to address this is just set sync_read before snapshot_write_next returns if handle->buffer == buffer.

If you send an update of a patch, it is always better to give it a higher version number to avoid any possible confusion.
Yes, I apologize. I wanted to add a Fixes line and I wasn't sure what the best practice was. I'll do my best to not create any additional work for you going forward!

Anyway, applied as 6.7 material with some minor edits in the subject and changelog.
Thank you for taking the time to review! Cheers
Thanks!
