What's more, this changes behaviour only when wanted would've been equal to n, doesn't it? Which translates into "no decrements of n have happened at all", i.e. "nothing has been copied". IOW, it's a consequence of no copyout, not the cause of such. You can make copy_to_iter() lie and pretend if has copied everything when it has copied nothing, but that won't change the underlying bug. So I'm afraid your debugging is not finished - you still need to find out what causes the copyout failures and/or BS iov_iter padded by caller.
