Subject: [PATCH 04/11] iov_iter: Fix potential underflow in iov_iter_extract_xarray_pages()
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 15:06:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619140646.2633762-5-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260619140646.2633762-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

In iov_iter_extract_xarray_pages(), if no pages are extracted because
there's a hole (or something otherwise unextractable) in the xarray, then
the calculation of maxsize at the end can go wrong if the starting offset
is not zero.

Fix this by returning 0 in such a case and freeing the page array if
allocated here rather than being passed in.

Note that in the near future, ITER_XARRAY should be removed.

Fixes: 7d58fe731028 ("iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator")
