For example, arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h has below definitions which is smaller than INT_MAX 47 #ifdef CONFIG_32BIT (...snipped...) 52 #define TASK_SIZE 0x7fff8000UL (...snipped...) 63 #endif 64 65 #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT (...snipped...) 74 #define TASK_SIZE 0x10000000000UL (...snipped...) 91 #endif Also, several architectures define TASK_SIZE as #define TASK_SIZE PAGE_OFFSET and PAGE_OFFSET could be 0 if CONFIG_KERNEL_RAM_BASE_ADDRESS is not defined. include/asm-generic/page.h 68 #ifdef CONFIG_KERNEL_RAM_BASE_ADDRESS 69 #define PAGE_OFFSET (CONFIG_KERNEL_RAM_BASE_ADDRESS) 70 #else 71 #define PAGE_OFFSET (0) 72 #endif If TASK_SIZE == 0, BAD_ADDR(x) is always true and !IS_ERR_VALUE(x) can be true. Although I don't know which combination makes such environment, I think "BAD_ADDR() _and_ !IS_ERR_VALUE()" can happen. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
