[PATCH] idmouse cleanup and overflow fix

From: Al Viro
Date: Sat Oct 29 2005 - 05:57:23 EST


switched to simple_read_from_buffer(), killed broken use of min().
Incidentally, that use of min() had been fixed once, only to be reintroduced
in
[PATCH] USB: upgrade of the idmouse driver
[snip]
- if (count > IMGSIZE - *ppos)
- count = IMGSIZE - *ppos;
+ count = min ((loff_t)count, IMGSIZE - (*ppos));

Note the lovely use of cast to shut the warning about misuse of min() up...
