My apologies I was wrong about what I said above - after thinking about it for longer you still need to make sure that at least len is not greater than (uint64_t)LLONG_MAX because in the calculation: if (start > (uint64_t)LLONG_MAX - len) return -EINVAL; if len was more than (uint64_t)LLONG_MAX it would underflow and become a very large positive number and start would never be greater than that (and I said end when I should have said len). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
