Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] lib/scatterlist: Fix length calculations in extract_kvec_to_sg
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:49:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326214905.818170-2-lk@c--e.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326214905.818170-1-lk@c--e.de>

When extracting from a kvec to a scatterlist, do not
cross page boundaries. The required length was already
calculated but not used as intended.

Adjust the copied length if the loop runs out of
sglist entries without extracting everything.

While there, return immediately from extract_iter_to_sg
if there are no sglist entries at all.

A subsequent commit will add kunit test cases that
demonstrate that the patch is necessary.
