[PATCH v16 14/25] mm: pagewalk: fix termination condition in walk_pte_range()

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

 



If walk_pte_range() is called with a 'end' argument that is beyond the
last page of memory (e.g. ~0UL) then the comparison between 'addr' and
'end' will always fail and the loop will be infinite. Instead change the
comparison to >= while accounting for overflow.
