I tried to fix it without changes in ums driver because it works fine. 
Of course capacity can't be a negative value.

When we set some offset and some part size we have an integer overflow 
at this line, just before cast to long long int:
>> -	tmp_capacity = (long long int)((ums_dev->offset + ums_dev->part_size)
>> -				       * SECTOR_SIZE);

In the best case of overflow - ums partition capacity will have the same 
value as mmc cap, but if offset was set, then the partition size will be 
exceeded.

This code above avoids situation when tmp_capacity value is bigger  than 
real mmc capacity. I don't check next the offset but this is also the 
reason why I put printf here. I assume that developer should know how to 
define UMS_START_BLOCK and UMS_PART_SIZE if no, some information will be 
printed.

In summary I will change signed variables to unsigned here and few in 
the ums gadget driver.
Moreover now I think that it will be better to replace part_size from 
the struct ums_dev with part_blk_num and compute its value at ums_init 
function. And then pointer to ums_get_capacity is not needed in ums 
structure.

What do you think about this?
