The bug is the error handling: if (tmp < nr_bytes) { "tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type size_t the negative error codes are treated as very high positive values (success). Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t. The "nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.
