Subject: [PATCH] overflow check calculation in mm/mmap.c is incorrect linux-3.12.38
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:14:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <007301d08304$85881420$90983c60$@gmail.com> (raw)
When checking for overflow, the code in mm/mmap.c compares the first byte
*after* the end of mapped region to the start of the region instead of the
last byte of the mapped region. This prevents mapping a region which abuts
the end of physical space, as mmap() incorrectly rejects the region with
-EOVERFLOW, because pgoff + (len >> PAGE_SHIFT) will be 0, which is < pgoff.
