Pull vfs iov_iter regression fix from Al Viro:
"Fix for braino in 'fold checks into iterate_and_advance()'"
* 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
do "fold checks into iterate_and_advance()" right

the only case when we should skip the iterate_and_advance() guts
is when nothing's left in the iterator, _not_ just when requested
amount is 0. Said guts will do nothing in the latter case anyway;
the problem we tried to deal with in the aforementioned commit is
that when there's nothing left *and* the amount requested is 0,
we might end up deferencing one iovec too many; the value we fetch
from there is discarded in that case, but theoretically it might
oops if the iovec array ends exactly at the end of page with the
next page not mapped.
Bailing out on zero size requested had an unexpected side effect -
zero-length segment in the beginning of iovec array ended up
throwing do_loop_readv_writev() into infinite spin; we do not
advance past the empty segment at all. Reproducer is trivial:
echo '#include <sys/uio.h>' >a.c
echo 'main() {char c; struct iovec v[] = {{&c,0},{&c,1}}; readv(0,v,2);}' >>a.c
cc a.c && ./a.out </proc/uptime
which should end up with the process not hanging. Probably ought to
go into LTP or xfstests...

they are open-coded in all users except iov_iter_advance(), and there
they wouldn't be a bad idea either - as it is, iov_iter_advance(i, 0)
ends up dereferencing potentially past the end of iovec array. It
doesn't do anything with the value it reads, and very unlikely to
trigger an oops on dereference, but it is not impossible.

iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties:
* no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array
* total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT
* all ranges pass access_ok().
The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the
primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those
primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we
managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to
spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in
sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole.
We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and
compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the
resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer)
if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter.
That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec().
Calling conventions:
iovec = iov_array;
err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs,
ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec,
&iter);
imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated
if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to
refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL
if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec.
On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total
size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated.
compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec;
otherwise it's identical to import_iovec().
Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec
covering a user-supplied range -
err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter);
does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets
silently truncated.
Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing
the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.

simillar to iov_iter_fault_in_readable() but differs in that it is
not limited to faulting in the first iovec and instead faults in
"bytes" bytes iterating over the iovecs as necessary.
Also, instead of only faulting in the first and last page of the
range, all pages are faulted in.
This function is needed by NTFS when it does multi page file
writes.
