Thanks for the patch, but I didn't actually see any place where that
could happen. I think the idea is that the callers make sure the count
does not exceed VDO_MAX_SIZE before calling the function.

That should have been fixed as well, no?

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think this patch is needed.
