David Howells 37de5a80e9 cifs: Fix encryption of cleared, but unset rq_iter data buffers
Each smb_rqst struct contains two things: an array of kvecs (rq_iov) that
contains the protocol data for an RPC op and an iterator (rq_iter) that
contains the data payload of an RPC op.  When an smb_rqst is allocated
rq_iter is it always cleared, but we don't set it up unless we're going to
use it.

The functions that determines the size of the ciphertext buffer that will
be needed to encrypt a request, cifs_get_num_sgs(), assumes that rq_iter is
always initialised - and employs user_backed_iter() to check that the
iterator isn't user-backed.  This used to incidentally work, because
->user_backed was set to false because the iterator has never been
initialised, but with commit f1b4cb650b9a0eeba206d8f069fcdc532bfbcd74[1]
which changes user_backed_iter() to determine this based on the iterator
type insted, a warning is now emitted:

        WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 4584 at fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h:2165 smb2_get_aead_req+0x3fc/0x420 [cifs]

         __se_sys_mount+0x143/0x1a0

The problem is that rq_iter was never set, so the type is 0 (ie. ITER_UBUF)
which causes user_backed_iter() to return true.  The code doesn't
malfunction because it checks the size of the iterator - which is 0.

Fix cifs_get_num_sgs() to ignore rq_iter if its count is 0, thereby
bypassing the warnings.

It might be better to explicitly initialise rq_iter to a zero-length
ITER_BVEC, say, as it can always be reinitialised later.

README

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.
