The patch titled block: fix the bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was block-fix-the-bio_vec-array-index-out-of-bounds-test.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: block: fix the bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test From: Kazuhisa Ichikawa <ki@xxxxxxxxxxx> Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within __end_that_request_first() does not seem correct. It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx == zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.
