Shouldn't it be: /* Avoid wrapping to the beginning of the file */ if (index + nr_to_read < index) nr_to_read = ULONG_MAX - index; /* Don't read past the page containing the last byte of the file */ if (index + nr_to_read > end_index) nr_to_read = end_index - index + 1; I.e., 'ULONG_MAX - index' rather than 'ULONG_MAX - index + 1', so that 'index + nr_to_read' is then ULONG_MAX rather than overflowed to 0. Then 'index + nr_to_read > end_index' rather 'index + nr_to_read >= end_index', since otherwise nr_to_read can be increased by 1 rather than decreased or stay the same as expected. - Eric
