[PATCH] vfs: calculate seek offsets using unsigned variables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Adding two loff_ts means adding two signed integers. Adding two such integers
when they are unchecked might cause an overflow which is undefined for
signed integers.

Avoid it by doing the math using unsigned cast and casting it back implicitly
into loff_t.
