[PATCH] vfs: calculate seek offsets using unsigned variables

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Dec 01 2014 - 23:04:37 EST


Adding two loff_ts means adding two signed integers. Adding two such integers
when they are unchecked might cause an overflow which is undefined for
signed integers.

Avoid it by doing the math using unsigned cast and casting it back implicitly
into loff_t.
