Starting with commit5d8edfb900("iomap: Copy larger chunks from userspace"), iomap_write_iter() can get into endless loop. This can be reproduced with LTP writev07 which uses partially valid iovecs: struct iovec wr_iovec[] = { { buffer, 64 }, { bad_addr, 64 }, { buffer + 64, 64 }, { buffer + 64 * 2, 64 }, }; commitbc1bb416bb("generic_perform_write()/iomap_write_actor(): saner logics for short copy") previously introduced the logic, which made short copy retry in next iteration with amount of "bytes" it managed to copy: if (unlikely(status == 0)) { /* * A short copy made iomap_write_end() reject the * thing entirely. Might be memory poisoning * halfway through, might be a race with munmap, * might be severe memory pressure. */ if (copied) bytes = copied; However, since5d8edfb900"bytes" is no longer carried into next iteration, because it is now always initialized at the beginning of the loop. And for iov_iter_count < PAGE_SIZE, "bytes" ends up with same value as previous iteration, making the loop retry same copy over and over, which leads to writev07 testcase hanging. Make next iteration retry with amount of bytes we managed to copy.

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 Restructured Text 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.
