[PATCH 3.2 89/94] introduce SIZE_MAX

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-04 17:10:51
Also in: lkml

3.2.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@gmail.com>

commit a3860c1c5dd1137db23d7786d284939c5761d517 upstream.

ULONG_MAX is often used to check for integer overflow when calculating
allocation size.  While ULONG_MAX happens to work on most systems, there
is no guarantee that `size_t' must be the same size as `long'.

This patch introduces SIZE_MAX, the maximum value of `size_t', to improve
portability and readability for allocation size validation.
