From: Marcelo Henrique Cerri <marcelo.cerri@canonical.com>
[ Upstream commit d238692b4b9f2c36e35af4c6e6f6da36184aeb3e ]
Use size_t when capping the count argument received by mem_rw(). Since count is size_t, using min_t(int, ...) can lead to a negative value that will later be passed to access_remote_vm(), which can cause unexpected behavior.
Since we are capping the value to at maximum PAGE_SIZE, the conversion from size_t to int when passing it to access_remote_vm() as "len" shouldn't be a problem.
