thanks
fixed for 2.44

You are right that there is a problem. But the fix isn't quite what you
suggest. There is kernel code for this syscall that looks like this
end = start + len;
if (end < start)
return -EINVAL.
So the text in question has now been changed to read:
or start + len was less than start
Thanks.
