3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com
commit 6c6bc9ea84d0008024606bf5ba10519e20d851bf upstream.
The first checks in mtdchar_read() and mtdchar_write() attempt to limit `count` such that `*ppos + count <= mtd->size`. However, they ignore the possibility of `*ppos > mtd->size`, allowing the calculation of `count` to wrap around. `mtdchar_lseek()` prevents seeking beyond mtd->size, but the pread/pwrite syscalls bypass this.
I haven't found any codepath on which this actually causes dangerous behavior, but it seems like a sensible change anyway.
