[PATCH] block: don't overwrite bip_vcnt in bio_integrity_copy_user()

From: David Carlier

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 17:52:08 EST


bio_integrity_add_page() already sets bip_vcnt to 1 for the bounce
segment. Overwriting it with nr_vecs breaks bip_vcnt <= bip_max_vcnt
on WRITE (bip_max_vcnt is 1), so the gap-merge checks in block/blk.h
read past the bip_vec[] flex array. On READ the read is in bounds
but lands on a saved user bvec instead of the bounce.

The line was added for split propagation, but bio_integrity_clone()
doesn't copy bip_vcnt and BIP_CLONE_FLAGS excludes BIP_COPY_USER.

Fixes: 3991657ae707 ("block: set bip_vcnt correctly")
