[PATCH] relay: fix for possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs

[Aravind Srinivasan]

from: Aravind Srinivasan <raa.aars@gmail.com>

This patch fixes possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs in
relay_subbufs_consumed().

When buf->subbufs_produced wraps around after UINT_MAX and
buf->subbufs_consumed is still < UINT_MAX, the condition
	if (buf->subbufs_consumed > buf->subbufs_produced)
will be true even for certain valid values of subbufs_consumed. This may lead
to loss or corruption of produced subbufs.
