      fuse: break infinite loop in fuse_fill_write_pages() · e595f1d3
      Roman Gushchin authored
      commit 3ca8138f upstream.
      
      I got a report about unkillable task eating CPU. Further
      investigation shows, that the problem is in the fuse_fill_write_pages()
      function. If iov's first segment has zero length, we get an infinite
      loop, because we never reach iov_iter_advance() call.
      
      Fix this by calling iov_iter_advance() before repeating an attempt to
      copy data from userspace.
      
      A similar problem is described in 124d3b70 ("fix writev regression:
      pan hanging unkillable and un-straceable"). If zero-length segmend
      is followed by segment with invalid address,
      iov_iter_fault_in_readable() checks only first segment (zero-length),
      iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() skips it, fails at second and
      returns zero -> goto again without skipping zero-length segment.
      
      Patch calls iov_iter_advance() before goto again: we'll skip zero-length
      segment at second iteraction and iov_iter_fault_in_readable() will detect
      invalid address.
      
      Special thanks to Konstantin Khlebnikov, who helped a lot with the commit
      description.
