[PATCH 4.9 65/88] pipe: fix off-by-one error when checking buffer limits

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9903a91c763ecdae333a04a9d89d79d2b8966503 upstream.

With pipe-user-pages-hard set to 'N', users were actually only allowed up
to 'N - 1' buffers; and likewise for pipe-user-pages-soft.

Fix this to allow up to 'N' buffers, as would be expected.
