From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 upstream. If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were not expected to. Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the specified range.
