Subject: iovec: make sure the caller actually wants anything in
memcpy_fromiovecend
From: Sasha Levin <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 06ebb06d49486676272a3c030bfeef4bd969a8e6 ]
Check for cases when the caller requests 0 bytes instead of running off
and dereferencing potentially invalid iovecs.
