The quilt patch titled Subject: iov_iter: iterate_folioq: fix handling of offset >= folio size has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was iov_iter-iterate_folioq-fix-handling-of-offset-=-folio-size.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

It's apparently possible to get an iov advanced all the way up to the end of the current page we're looking at, e.g.
(gdb) p *iter $24 = {iter_type = 4 '\004', nofault = false, data_source = false, iov_offset = 4096, {__ubuf_iovec = { iov_base = 0xffff88800f5bc000, iov_len = 655}, {{__iov = 0xffff88800f5bc000, kvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000, bvec = 0xffff88800f5bc000, folioq = 0xffff88800f5bc000, xarray = 0xffff88800f5bc000, ubuf = 0xffff88800f5bc000}, count = 655}}, {nr_segs = 2, folioq_slot = 2 '\002', xarray_start = 2}}
Where iov_offset is 4k with 4k-sized folios
This should have been fine because we're only in the 2nd slot and there's another one after this, but iterate_folioq should not try to map a folio that skips the whole size, and more importantly part here does not end up zero (because 'PAGE_SIZE - skip % PAGE_SIZE' ends up PAGE_SIZE and not zero..), so skip forward to the "advance to next folio" code
