[PATCH v5 03/22] gpu: nova-core: vbios: avoid reading too far in read_more_at_offset
From: Eliot Courtney
Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 09:58:12 EST
Fix bug where `read_more_at_offset` would unnecessarily read more data.
This happens when the window to read has some part cached and some part
not. It would read `len` bytes instead of just the uncached portion,
which could read past `BIOS_MAX_SCAN_LEN`.
Fixes: 6fda04e7f0cd ("gpu: nova-core: vbios: Add base support for VBIOS construction and iteration")
