Likely better. Just made it >INT_MAX (though that should not make that much
difference).

This change behaves as expected. See attached sample program.

Patch

From 45e8e04819666c5ad4c4464f52d2bf59d3728bb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Subject: [PATCH] net: fix rds_iovec page count overflow

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709153
CVE-2010-3865

As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow.  We
get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to
UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for
an unaligned address).

So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not
even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they
might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong.

Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate
error code.
