OK, that looks like pipe_advance() fencepost (hopefully) dealt with in the lib/iov_iter.c patch I've just posted. I'm going down right now, but if you have a box you are not too fond of, it would be nice if you tried that one. Warning: the patch had been written in a barely awake state, and is completely untested. Treat accordingly...
