Not sure I see what you mean. If msg_iter is not advanced then chunk -
orig_chunk is 0, and the revert is a no-op.

Agreed that zerocopy_from_iter() should call iov_iter_revert(). I didn't
do that because at first glace, the tx path seems to depend on the
iov_iter_revert() being called as a result of either failed
zerocopy_from_iter() or tls_push_record(). However, I think the latter path
cannot actually be taken because tls_push_record appears never to return
a positive value. This means that the code between
the continue and fallback_to_reg_send should probably just be replaced
with simply, goto send_end. 

After that change, its clear that iov_iter_revert() can be safely moved
inside zerocopy_from_iter() in the error case. 

Pending your input, I'll plan on putting up a 2 part patch addressing
each of these.
