iomap_dio_bio_actor() copies iter to a local variable and then limits it to a file extent we have mapped. When IO is submitted, iomap_dio_bio_actor() advances the original iter while the copied iter is advanced inside bio_iov_iter_get_pages(). This logic is non-obvious especially because both iters still point to same shared structures (such as pipe info) so if iov_iter_advance() changes anything in the shared structure, this scheme breaks. Let's just truncate and reexpand the original iter as needed instead of playing games with copying iters and keeping them in sync. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
