WARNING in iov_iter_revert

Hello,

I'm in the process of fixing this bug 
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=1339e0a805a4ddb11eaee6fb6b1bc905493ded77)

However, there are a couple things I'm trying to wrap my head around to understand and fix this issue properly.

I'm using the C reproducer from syzkaller[1] to trigger this issue which has been a huge help in learning the Linux kernel.

First in tls_sw.c in tls_sw_sendmsg we having the following: 

`do_tcp_sendpages
   `tls_push_sg
      `tls_push_record 

returns -EPIPE (-32) because sk->sk_shudown is set.  See do_tcp_sendpages 
in net/ipv4/tcp.c

Do we need to check for -EPIPE before continuing in tls_sw.c after 
tls_push_record, for example:

if (ret == -EAGAIN || ret == -EPIPE)
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  goto send_end;

If -EPIPE is valid and we don't need to check for that particular 
condition 
then calling iov_iter_revert might be wrong because of the second 
argument:

ctx->sg_plaintext_size - orig_size

Because that statement will evaluate to -1 because ctx->sg_plaintext_size 
has been set to zero from earlier when calling:

`free_sg
  `tls_push_sg  

And orig_size is set to 1 from the beginning of the while loop:

orig_size = ctx->sg_plaintext_size

So calling iov_iter_revert with the second argument being -1 will trigger 
the warning in lib/iov_iter.c:iov_iter_revert:

if (WARN_ON(unroll > MAX_RW_COUNT))
     return;

Am I correct in thinking EPIPE should be checked after returning from 
tls_push_record?  Or do we need to do some sanity checks on 
sg_plaintext_size and orig_size before calling iov_iter_revert?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
