[PATCH 3.15 16/26] iovec: make sure the caller actually wants anything in memcpy_fromiovecend

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2014-08-08 21:50:53
Also in: lkml

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 06ebb06d49486676272a3c030bfeef4bd969a8e6 ]

Check for cases when the caller requests 0 bytes instead of running off
and dereferencing potentially invalid iovecs.
