2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Michael Buesch commit 6b4dbcd86a9d464057fcc7abe4d0574093071fcc upstream. loff_t is a signed type. If userspace passes a negative ppos, the "count" range check is weakened. "count"s bigger than HPEE_MAX_LENGTH will pass the check. Also, if ppos is negative, the readb(eisa_eeprom_addr + *ppos) will poke in random memory.
