      [CRYPTO] api: scatterwalk_copychunks() fails to advance through scatterlist · f70ee5ec
      J. Bruce Fields 提交于
      In the loop in scatterwalk_copychunks(), if walk->offset is zero,
      then scatterwalk_pagedone rounds that up to the nearest page boundary:
      
      		walk->offset += PAGE_SIZE - 1;
      		walk->offset &= PAGE_MASK;
      
      which is a no-op in this case, so we don't advance to the next element
      of the scatterlist array:
      
      		if (walk->offset >= walk->sg->offset + walk->sg->length)
      			scatterwalk_start(walk, sg_next(walk->sg));
      
      and we end up copying the same data twice.
      
      It appears that other callers of scatterwalk_{page}done first advance
      walk->offset, so I believe that's the correct thing to do here.
      
      This caused a bug in NFS when run with krb5p security, which would
      cause some writes to fail with permissions errors--for example, writes
      of less than 8 bytes (the des blocksize) at the start of a file.
      
      A git-bisect shows the bug was originally introduced by
      5c64097a, first in 2.6.19-rc1.
