Subject: [PATCH 1/3] relay: Fix 4 off-by-one errors occuring when writing to a CPU buffer.
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 04:09:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080613040947.7465b9a5@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.
