Re: [V9fs-developer] [PATCH] Integer underflow in pdu_read()

[piaojun <piaojun@huawei.com>]

Hi Tomas,

I found some other subtraction between pdu->size and pdu->offset such as:
p9pdu_vreadf()
--min_t(uint32_t, *count, pdu->size - pdu->offset);
p9_check_zc_errors()
--len = req->rc->size - req->rc->offset;

I wonder if there are underflow risks?

Thanks,
Jun
