Commitbd11b3a391("io_uring: don't use iov_iter_advance() for fixed buffers") introduced an optimization to avoid using the slow iov_iter_advance by manually populating the iov_iter iterator in some cases. However, the computation of the iterator count field was erroneous: The first bvec was always accounted for an extent of page size even if the bvec length was smaller. In consequence, some I/O operations on fixed buffers were unable to operate on the full extent of the buffer, consistently skipping some bytes at the end of it.

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.
