Description

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

fsdax: Fix infinite loop in dax_iomap_rw()

I got an infinite loop and a WARNING report when executing a tail command
in virtiofs.

WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 964 at fs/iomap/iter.c:34 iomap_iter+0x3a2/0x3d0
Modules linked in:
CPU: 10 PID: 964 Comm: tail Not tainted 5.19.0-rc7
Call Trace:

dax_iomap_rw+0xea/0x620

The tail command will call read() with a count of 0. In this case,
iomap_iter() will report this WARNING, and always return 1 which casuing
the infinite loop in dax_iomap_rw().

Fixing by checking count whether is 0 in dax_iomap_rw().
