From b0cfbd995d091b10841eeb948976f5d1fbf13cdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:55:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] fix for generic_file_write iov problem Here is the fix for the problem described in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4721 Basically, problem is generic_file_buffered_write() is accessing beyond end of the iov[] vector after handling the last vector. If we happen to cross page boundary, we get a fault. I think this simple patch is good enough. If we really don't want to depend on the "count", then we need pass nr_segs to filemap_set_next_iovec() and decrement it and check it.
