Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:43:56 +0200 From: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@...e.cz> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Return EOF on out-of-bounds read from /dev/mem The off parameter (type loff_t) may specify an offset that cannot be represented by a long. Currently, /dev/mem wraps around, which may to cause applications to read/write incorrect regions of memory by accident. Follow the usual file semantics here and return 0 when reading or -EFBIG when writing beyond the accessible range.
