Subject: [RFC PATCH] NFSD: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE in nfsd_iter_read()
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:18:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911201858.1630-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

The *count parameter does not appear to be explicitly restricted
to being smaller than rsize, so it might be possible to overrun
the rq_bvec array.

Rather than overrunning the array (damage done!) and then WARNING
once, let's harden the loop so that it terminates before the end of
rq_bvec. This should result in a short read, which is OK (clients
recover by sending additional READ requests for the remaining unread
bytes).

There might be a similar issue with rq_next_page in this loop?

Suppose that nfsd4_encode_readv() encounters a second READ operation
in a COMPOUND, and the two READ operations together comprise more
than "rsize" total bytes of payload. Each rq_bvec is under the page
limit, but the total number of pages consumed from rq_pages might
exceed rq_maxpages.
