The patch below does not apply to the 6.12-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:

git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-6.12.y

Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/kbuf: fix missing BUF_MORE for incremental buffers
 at EOF

For a zero length transfer, io_kbuf_inc_commit() is called with !len.
Since we never enter the while loop to consume the buffers,
io_kbuf_inc_commit() ends up returning true, consuming the buffer. But
if no data was consumed, by definition it cannot have consumed the
buffer. Return false for that case.

Same on this, fine to drop for 6.12.
