5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 73f949ea87c7d697210653501ca21efe57295327 ] If ->iov_idx is zero, This means that the iov vector for the response was not added during the request process. In other words, it means that there is a problem in generating a response, So this patch return as an error to avoid NULL pointer dereferencing problem.
