Darrick J. Wong c364b6d0b6 xfs: fix bmv_count confusion w/ shared extents
In a bmapx call, bmv_count is the total size of the array, including the
zeroth element that userspace uses to supply the search key.  The output
array starts at offset 1 so that we can set up the user for the next
invocation.  Since we now can split an extent into multiple bmap records
due to shared/unshared status, we have to be careful that we don't
overflow the output array.

In the original patch f86f403794 ("xfs: teach get_bmapx about shared
extents and the CoW fork") I used cur_ext (the output index) to check
for overflows, albeit with an off-by-one error.  Since nexleft no longer
describes the number of unfilled slots in the output, we can rip all
that out and use cur_ext for the overflow check directly.

Failure to do this causes heap corruption in bmapx callers such as
xfs_io and xfs_scrub.  xfs/328 can reproduce this problem.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
