It's apparently possible to get an iov advanced all the way up to the end
of the current page we're looking at, e.g.
(gdb) p *iter
$24 = {iter_type = 4 '\004', nofault = false, data_source = false, iov_offset = 4096, {__ubuf_iovec = {
iov_base = 0xffff88800f5bc000, iov_len = 655}, {{__iov = 0xffff88800f5bc000, kvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000,
bvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000, folioq = 0xffff88800f5bc000, xarray = 0xffff88800f5bc000,
ubuf = 0xffff88800f5bc000}, count = 655}}, {nr_segs = 2, folioq_slot = 2 '\002', xarray_start = 2}}
Where iov_offset is 4k with 4k-sized folios
This should have been fine because we're only in the 2nd slot and there's
another one after this, but iterate_folioq should not try to map a folio
that skips the whole size, and more importantly part here does not end up
zero (because 'PAGE_SIZE - skip % PAGE_SIZE' ends up PAGE_SIZE and not
zero..), so skip forward to the "advance to next folio" code

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
