5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0f1d344feb534555a0dcd0beafb7211a37c5355e upstream. iter_file_splice_write() may spawn bvec segments with zero-length. In preparation for prohibiting them, filter out by hand at splice level.
