[PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write fixes
Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cam.ac.uk> points out: - It calls fault_in_pages_readable() which is completely bogus if @nr_segs > 1. It needs to be replaced by a to be written "fault_in_pages_readable_iovec()". - It increments @buf even in the iovec case thus @buf can point to random memory really quickly (in the iovec case) and then it calls fault_in_pages_readable() on this random memory.
