commit 6b7e633fe9c24682df550e5311f47fb524701586 upstream.
The ring_buffer_read_page() takes care of zeroing out any extra data in the
page that it returns. There's no need to zero it out again from the
consumer. It was removed from one consumer of this function, but
read_buffers_splice_read() did not remove it, and worse, it contained a
nasty bug because of it.
Fixes: 2711ca237a084 ("ring-buffer: Move zeroing out excess in page to ring buffer code")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
