Subject: [PATCH] block: fix the bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 15:45:06 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A03D4F2.1070904@epsilou.com> (raw)
From: Kazuhisa Ichikawa <ki@epsilou.com>
Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within
__end_that_request_first() does not seem correct.
It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code
uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into
bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at
the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx
== zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.
(This patch applies to 2.6.30-rc4.)
