Thanks for limiting this to MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
__ip6_append_data probably needs the same.
I see your point that the
if (copy > 0) {
} else {
copy = 0;
}
might apply to MSG_ZEROCOPY too. I'll take a look at that. For now
this is a clear fix to a specific MSG_SPLICE_PAGES commit.
copy is recomputed on each iteration in the loop. The only fields it
directly affects below this new line are offset and length. offset is
only used in copy paths: "offset into linear skb".
So this changes length, the number of bytes still to be written.
copy -= -fraggap definitely seems off. You point out that it even can
turn length negative?
The WARN_ON_ONCE, if it can be reached, will be user triggerable.
Usually for those cases and when there is a viable return with error
path, that is preferable. But if you prefer to taunt syzbot, ok. We
can always remove this later.
