Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:36:11 -0500 From: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@...ibm.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, jens.axboe@...cle.com, dwilder@...ibm.com Subject: [PATCH] relay: fix bogus cast in subbuf_splice_actor() The current code that sets the read position in subbuf_splice_actor may give erroneous results if the buffer size isn't a power of 2. This patch fixes the problem.
