[PATCH 3.16 114/233] drivers: char: mem: Fix wraparound check to allow mappings up to the end

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

 



3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julius Werner <jwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 32829da54d9368103a2f03269a5120aa9ee4d5da upstream.

A recent fix to /dev/mem prevents mappings from wrapping around the end
of physical address space. However, the check was written in a way that
also prevents a mapping reaching just up to the end of physical address
space, which may be a valid use case (especially on 32-bit systems).
This patch fixes it by checking the last mapped address (instead of the
first address behind that) for overflow.
