And as the offender is on track for 2.6.37.4-stable, it needs to be

len = min_t(size_t, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, buflen);

which may be somewhat cleaner, as it doesn't add an explicit cast.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
