Subject: [PATCH v3 04/13] vfs: remove redundant checks from generic_remap_checks()
Date:   Wed, 29 May 2019 20:43:08 +0300
Message-Id: <20190529174318.22424-5-amir73il@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190529174318.22424-1-amir73il@gmail.com>
References: <20190529174318.22424-1-amir73il@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The access limit checks on input file range in generic_remap_checks()
are redundant because the input file size is guaranteied to be within
limits and pos+len are already checked to be within input file size.

Beyond the fact that the check cannot fail, if it would have failed,
it could return -EFBIG for input file range error. There is no precedent
for that. -EFBIG is returned in syscalls that would change file length.

With that call removed, we can fold generic_access_check_limits() into
generic_write_check_limits().
