Chris Mason 4a44c140cc svcrdma: Fix offset arithmetic in read_chunk_range
svc_rdma_read_chunk_range() walks a Read chunk's segment list to
build a sub-range starting at byte offset and spanning length bytes
for a Position-Zero or Call chunk. Two arithmetic defects in the
per-segment loop produce wrong DMA lengths and a u32 underflow:

    pcl_for_each_segment(segment, chunk) {
            if (offset > segment->rs_length) {
                    offset -= segment->rs_length;
                    continue;
            }

            dummy.rs_handle = segment->rs_handle;
            dummy.rs_length = min_t(u32, length,
                                    segment->rs_length) - offset;
            dummy.rs_offset = segment->rs_offset + offset;

First, the skip predicate uses '>' instead of '>='. When offset
equals the segment's full rs_length, the segment is fully consumed
and should be skipped, but the loop falls through into the body.
The resulting dummy.rs_length is min_t(u32, length, rs_length) -
rs_length, which underflows to a near-UINT_MAX u32 when length is
smaller than rs_length, or is zero otherwise.

Second, the length formula subtracts offset from the min_t() result
rather than from segment->rs_length before the cap. For offset > 0
the segment's residual is rs_length - offset, not rs_length, so the
cap must be applied to the residual. With the current bracketing,
whenever length is smaller than rs_length - offset the per-segment
length becomes length - offset instead of length, silently dropping
offset bytes from the rebuilt chunk. Combined with the boundary
case above it also enables the u32 underflow path, which propagates
a huge nr_bvec into svc_rdma_build_read_segment() and a multi-MiB
kmalloc_array_node() in svc_rdma_get_rw_ctxt().

Additionally, svc_rdma_read_call_chunk() can invoke this function
with length == 0 when the last Read chunk ends exactly at the end
of the Call chunk. With the corrected >= predicate, every segment
is skipped and the function returns the initial -EINVAL, rejecting
a valid request. Return success immediately when length is zero.
Also break out of the loop once length is fully consumed to avoid
passing zero-length segments to svc_rdma_build_read_segment().

Fix by using '>=' so a fully-consumed segment is skipped, by
moving '- offset' inside min_t() so the cap is applied to the
segment's residual length, by returning success for zero-length
requests, and by stopping iteration when the requested range has
been consumed.
