From ebed48460be5abd86d9a24fa7c66378e58109f30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:08:22 -0700 Subject: mremap: check for overflow using deltas Using "- 1" relies on the old_end to be page aligned and PAGE_SIZE > 1, those are reasonable requirements but the check remains obscure and it looks more like an off by one error than an overflow check. This I feel will improve readability.
