I haven't played with it, though. Thanks for reviewing. Previous for add = 0 and len == ULONG_MAX, mlock will return ok(0) since len overflows to zero. IFAICT, this is not right since mlock do noting(lock nothing) and return ok(0). With this patch, for the same situation, mlock can return EINVAL as expected. >
