Subject: [PATCH 5/7] lib/iov_iter: account for iov_offset in iov_iter_gap_alignment()
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:10:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313181038.30018-6-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313181038.30018-1-objecting@objecting.org>
When the block layer checks gap alignment constraints for a partially
consumed iovec iterator — as can happen during large direct I/O
submissions that get split across multiple bio's — iov_iter_gap_alignment()
uses the raw iov_base and iov_len of the first segment without adjusting
for iov_offset. This reports the alignment of already-consumed data
rather than the remaining portion, which can cause the block layer to
apply incorrect gap alignment restrictions.
Found by comparing the first-segment handling in iov_iter_gap_alignment()
against iov_iter_alignment_iovec(), which correctly applies iov_offset
via its skip variable.
Apply iov_offset to the base address and length of the first segment so
that gap alignment reflects the actual remaining data.
