When a passthrough request uses transfer direction SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV,
bio_copy_user_iov() sets up a temporary iterator iter2 with
data_source = ITER_SOURCE to copy user data into the bio pages before
execution.
bio_copy_from_iter(bio, &iter2) copies the data and advances iter2, but
the original iter is never advanced. Consequently, iov_iter_count(&i)
remains non-zero in the caller loop in blk_rq_map_user_iov():
i = *iter;
do {
if (copy)
ret = bio_copy_user_iov(rq, map_data, &i, gfp_mask);
...
} while (iov_iter_count(&i));
Because i is never advanced, blk_rq_map_user_iov() loops indefinitely,
continually allocating bios and consuming map_data pages until it
exhausts pages and fails with -EINVAL.
Fix this by calling iov_iter_advance(iter, bio->bi_iter.bi_size) in the
map_data && map_data->from_user branch after bio_copy_from_iter().
Fixes: 13f3956eb568 ("block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iter")
