[PATCH 1/8] Guard bvec iteration logic

From: Dmitry Monakhov
Date: Thu Mar 30 2017 - 09:50:33 EST


If some one try to attempt advance bvec beyond it's size we simply
dump WARN_ONCE and continue to iterate beyond bvec array boundaries.
This simply means that we endup dereferencing/corrupting random memory
region.

Code was added long time ago here 4550dd6c, luckily no one hit it
in real life :)
