What if remaining_size(dev) <  2 + 1 + CMD_FINALIZE_BYTES_NEEDED? If that's 
possible we
get min(UINT_MAX(ish) , some size larger than our remaining buffer) and that's 
not good.

This is only possible for uselessly small values of IO_BUFFER_LENGTH, which is a compile-time value. Originally I thought it's OK as nobody would set the value so low. But on a second thought, after reading your comment, I think that even if IO_BUFFER_LENGTH was set to such a value, the code should fail gracefully.

So I will change it into:

while (off < shadow->size) {
        /*
         * Number of bytes needed in the cmd buffer to terminate the
         * write shadow mbr command.
         *
         * The bytestring header is either 1 or 2 bytes, so assume 2.
         * There also needs to be enough space to accommodate the
         * trailing OPAL_ENDNAME (1 byte) and tokens added by
         * cmd_finalize.
         */
        const size_t write_shadow_mbr_footer_size =
                2 + 1 + CMD_FINALIZE_BYTES_NEEDED;

        err = cmd_start(dev, opaluid[OPAL_MBR], opalmethod[OPAL_SET]);
        add_token_u8(&err, dev, OPAL_STARTNAME);
        add_token_u8(&err, dev, OPAL_WHERE);
        add_token_u64(&err, dev, shadow->offset + off);
        add_token_u8(&err, dev, OPAL_ENDNAME);

        add_token_u8(&err, dev, OPAL_STARTNAME);
        add_token_u8(&err, dev, OPAL_VALUES);

        if (!can_add(&err, dev, write_shadow_mbr_footer_size))
                break;
        len = min(remaining_size(dev) - write_shadow_mbr_footer_size,
                  (size_t)(shadow->size - off));
        pr_debug("MBR: write bytes %zu+%llu/%llu\n",
                 off, len, shadow->size);

Please let me know if you would prefer a different solution.

Best regards,
