[PATCH 169/173] proc: do proper range check on readdir offset

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Mon Apr 25 2011 - 16:33:35 EST


2.6.27.59-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d8bdc59f215e62098bc5b4256fd9928bf27053a1 upstream.

Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related
functions, check that the offset is in range up-front.

This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem.
