[PATCH] fix for generic_file_write iov problem
Here is the fix for the problem described in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4721 Basically, problem is generic_file_buffered_write() is accessing beyond end of the iov[] vector after handling the last vector. If we happen to cross page boundary, we get a fault. I think this simple patch is good enough. If we really don't want to depend on the "count", then we need pass nr_segs to filemap_set_next_iovec() and decrement it and check it.
