[PATCH 1/2] iov_iter: iterate_folioq: fix handling of offset >= folio size
From: Dominique Martinet via B4 Relay
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 03:40:09 EST
From: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
It's apparently possible to get an iov forwarded all the way up to the
end of the current page we're looking at, e.g.
(gdb) p *iter
$24 = {iter_type = 4 '\004', nofault = false, data_source = false, iov_offset = 4096, {__ubuf_iovec = {
iov_base = 0xffff88800f5bc000, iov_len = 655}, {{__iov = 0xffff88800f5bc000, kvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000,
bvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000, folioq = 0xffff88800f5bc000, xarray = 0xffff88800f5bc000,
ubuf = 0xffff88800f5bc000}, count = 655}}, {nr_segs = 2, folioq_slot = 2 '\002', xarray_start = 2}}
Where iov_offset is 4k with 4k-sized folios
This should have been because we're only in the 2nd slot and there's
another one after this, but iterate_folioq should not try to map a
folio that skips the whole size, and more importantly part here does
not end up zero (because 'PAGE_SIZE - skip % PAGE_SIZE' ends up
PAGE_SIZE and not zero..), so skip forward to the "advance to next
folio" code.
