Make the code for mapping an iovec more robust by checking the bounds of the allocated iovec. This patch avoids that the following crash occurs if a map attempt is made that exceeds the bounds of the iovec that is being mapped: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000 00000014 RIP: 0010:iscsit_map_iovec+0x120/0x190 [iscsi_target_mod] Call Trace: iscsit_get_rx_pdu+0x8a2/0xe00 [iscsi_target_mod] iscsi_target_rx_thread+0x6e/0xa0 [iscsi_target_mod] kthread+0x109/0x140 Cc: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

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.
