[PATCH v2] iov_iter: Use iov_offset for length calculation in iov_iter_aligned_bvec

From: Nitesh Shetty
Date: Sat Apr 26 2025 - 04:12:04 EST


If iov_offset is non-zero, then we need to consider iov_offset in length
calculation, otherwise we might pass smaller IOs such as 512 bytes, in
below scenario[1].
This issue is reproducible using lib-uring test/fixed-seg.c application
with fixed buffer on a 512 LBA formatted device.
Fixes â3639f96f24a121ec9f037981b81daf5a8d60a

[1]
At present we pass the alignment check,
for 512 LBA formatted devices, len_mask = 511
when IO is smaller, i->count = 512
has an offset, i->io_offset = 3584
with bvec values, bvec->bv_offset = 256, bvec->bv_len = 3840.
In short, the first 256 bytes are in the current page,
next 256 bytes are in the second page.
Ideally we expect to fail the IO.
