From: Ma Wupeng <mawupeng1@xxxxxxxxxx> While testing mlock, we have a problem if the len of mlock is ULONG_MAX. The return value of mlock is zero. But nothing will be locked since the len in do_mlock overflows to zero due to the following code in mlock: len = PAGE_ALIGN(len + (offset_in_page(start))); The same problem happens in munlock. Since TASK_SIZE is the maximum user space address. The start or len of mlock shouldn't be bigger than this. Function access_ok can be used to check this issue, so return -EINVAL if bigger.
