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.)
