Suppose m->offset + m->size - *fpos being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result. During our tests there are two problems caused by it: 1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails. 2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range(). Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables are not truncated.
