Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
307f77e7f5
cifs_read_iter_from_socket() copies the iterator that's passed in for the
socket to modify as and if it will, and then advances the original iterator
by the amount sent. However, both callers revert the advancement (although
receive_encrypted_read() zeros beyond the iterator first). The problem is,
though, that cifs_readv_receive() reverts by the original length, not the
amount transmitted which can cause an oops in iov_iter_revert().
Fix this by:
(1) Remove the iov_iter_advance() from cifs_read_iter_from_socket().
(2) Remove the iov_iter_revert() from both callers. This fixes the bug in
cifs_readv_receive().
(3) In receive_encrypted_read(), if we didn't get back as much data as the
buffer will hold, copy the iterator, advance the copy and use the copy
to drive iov_iter_zero().
As a bonus, this gets rid of some unnecessary work.
This was triggered by generic/074 with the "-o sign" mount option.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
