That's the bug which my patch addresses.  (My patch is option 1).

That is another solution which works.

A third viable solution.

I generally prefer option 2 to option 3.  I generally use that in code
that I'm writing.  There was one time Linus said he liked option 1
which I used here because it works regardless of the types or the valu
of EC_MEMMAP_SIZE.  This code already used the bytes > size - offset
idiom so I kept it as similar as possible.
