Tag structure should contain at least the tag header.
Entire tag structure must be contained inside MBI2 data.

It may be possible to argue away overflow concerns here. I'm not so sure though
for the case ...

... here. The earlier logic subtracting pointers wasn't susceptible to such.

Do you mean tag + 1 ?
For the same reason, computing tag above could have an overflow.
If the caller pass invalid data range, we will have overflows in either case.

Can you suggest a change ?

Yes.

Indeed. Yet as said, for these "+ 1" it may be okay to keep them like
that; the check below is certainly more risky.

Keep comparing (pointer differences) against mbi->total_size.
