[PATCH 0/3] Fix length calculation bug in extract_kvec_to_sg
Posted by Christian A. Ehrhardt 1 month, 1 week ago
There is a bug in extract_kvec_to_sg() where the length
of a scatterlist segment is miscalculated. The actual fix
is a one-liner and it is quite obvious from reading the
code that this is what was intened.

As this is a core library function this series first adds
test cases to the kunit_iov_iter test that demonstrate that
there is a bug before actually fixing it in the last commit.

The bug was orignally introduced into kernel v6.3 where the
function lived in fs/netfs/iterator.c. It was later moved
to lib/scatterlist.c in v6.5. Thus the actual fix is only
marked for backports to v6.5+.
