Subject: [PATCH 1/3] relay: Fix 4 off-by-one errors occuring when writing to a CPU buffer.
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:26:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080612232611.7b6767b9@linux360.ro> (raw)

Semantically, start + offset is always lower than the total size in bytes,
so the code should check against equality to size, not size + 1. When
userspace did read() (but not necessarily restricted to this), this
resulted in all-zeros data at the end of the buffer.
