When the bio's size reaches max_append_sectors, bio_add_hw_page returns
0 then __bio_iov_append_get_pages returns -EINVAL. This is an expected
result of building a small enough bio not to be split in the IO path.
However, iov_iter is not advanced in this case, causing the same pages
are filled for the bio again and again.
Fix the case by properly advancing the iov_iter for already processed
pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
