Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
Problem Details: The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages. This causes a page pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or nfs_write_data). Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the p...
