Subject: [PATCH 3.12 046/111] lib: Fix strnlen_user() to not touch memory after specified maximum

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 upstream.

If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum.  If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.

Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.
