I cannot reproduce this with nandsim, can you?

I tried:

1. sudo modprobe nandsim
   sudo modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0

2. sudo ./load_nandsim.sh 128 128 2048
   sudo modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0

In both cases the test passes: "mtd_oobtest: finished with 0 errors"

And in 'nand_do_read_oob()' I see the following piece of code:

        /* Do not allow reads past end of device */
        if (unlikely(from >= mtd->size ||
                     ops->ooboffs + readlen > ((mtd->size >> chip->page_shift) -
                                        (from >> chip->page_shift)) * len)) {
                DEBUG(MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL0, "%s: Attempt read beyond end "
                                        "of device\n", __func__);
                return -EINVAL;
        }

which should handle the case AFAICS.

So, although I did think hard about this, it looks like there is no
problem. What is the kernel version you are looking at? I checked it
with my l2-mtd-2.6.git, which is the latest mtd-2.6.git plus a revert
commit of your patch:
