I think that's not true. 'count' is changing through the iteration. The difference in the mem_read():* while (count > 0) { * int this_len, retval; * * this_len = (count > PAGE_SIZE) ? PAGE_SIZE : count; * retval = access_process_vm(task, src, page, this_len, 0); * * ... * } is the fact, that this_len = min(PAGE_SIZE, count) is in the iteration block, hence retval <= this_len <= count in each iteration step. So this is ok. But IMHO in your code 'retval' may be bigger than 'count' in the last iteration of the block, because 'max_len' is fix through your iteration but 'count' is changing. Or am i missing something?
