Fix off-by-one error in iov_iter_advance()
commit 94ad374a0751f40d25e22e036c37f7263569d24c upstream The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the next page was unallocated. The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.
