The maths at the end of iter_xarray_get_pages() to calculate the actual
size doesn't work under some circumstances, such as when it's been asked to
extract a partial single page. Various terms of the equation cancel out
and you end up with actual == offset. The same issue exists in
iter_xarray_get_pages_alloc().
Fix these to just use min() to select the lesser amount from between the
amount of page content transcribed into the buffer, minus the offset, and
the size limit specified.
This doesn't appear to have caused a problem yet upstream because network
filesystems aren't getting the pages from an xarray iterator, but rather
passing it directly to the socket, which just iterates over it. Cachefiles
*does* do DIO from one to/from ext4/xfs/btrfs/etc. but it always asks for
whole pages to be written or read.

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.
