Subject: dm verity: fix overflow check
From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]>
commit 1d55f6bcc0331d744cd5b56c4ee79e3809438161 upstream.
This patch fixes sector_t overflow checking in dm-verity.
Without this patch, the code checks for overflow only if sector_t is
smaller than long long, not if sector_t and long long have the same size.
