From d238692b4b9f2c36e35af4c6e6f6da36184aeb3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Henrique Cerri Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2021 18:54:38 -0700 Subject: proc: Avoid mixing integer types in mem_rw() Use size_t when capping the count argument received by mem_rw(). Since count is size_t, using min_t(int, ...) can lead to a negative value that will later be passed to access_remote_vm(), which can cause unexpected behavior. Since we are capping the value to at maximum PAGE_SIZE, the conversion from size_t to int when passing it to access_remote_vm() as "len" shouldn't be a problem.
