Subject: [PATCH 02/26] netfs: Fix kernel BUG in netfs_limit_iter() for ITER_KVEC iterators
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:45:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326104544.509518-3-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326104544.509518-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
From: Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com>
When a process crashes and the kernel writes a core dump to a 9P
filesystem, __kernel_write() creates an ITER_KVEC iterator. This
iterator reaches netfs_limit_iter() via netfs_unbuffered_write(), which
only handles ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_BVEC and ITER_XARRAY iterator types,
hitting the BUG() for any other type.
Fix this by adding netfs_limit_kvec() following the same pattern as
netfs_limit_bvec(), since both kvec and bvec are simple segment arrays
with pointer and length fields. Dispatch it from netfs_limit_iter() when
the iterator type is ITER_KVEC.
Fixes: cae932d3aee5 ("netfs: Add func to calculate pagecount/size-limited span of an iterator")
