Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] lib: Fix length calculations in extract_kvec_to_sg
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 21:34:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324203453.810499-3-lk@c--e.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324203453.810499-1-lk@c--e.de>
When extracting from a kvec to a scatterlist, do not
cross page boundaries. The required length is already
calculated but not used as intended.
Adjust the copied length if the loop runs out auf
sglist entries.
While there return immediately from extract_iter_to_sg
if there are no sglist entries at all.
The changes to the kunit_iov_iter.c in the next commit
demonstrate that the patch is necessary.
