Subject: CVE-2025-38139: netfs: Fix oops in write-retry from mis-resetting the subreq iterator

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Fix oops in write-retry from mis-resetting the subreq iterator

Fix the resetting of the subrequest iterator in netfs_retry_write_stream()
to use the iterator-reset function as the iterator may have been shortened
by a previous retry.  In such a case, the amount of data to be written by
the subrequest is not "subreq->len" but "subreq->len -
subreq->transferred".

Without this, KASAN may see an error in iov_iter_revert():

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd0edaf99a920b1a9decd773179caacacb61d0fd
