    ``` However, if the retrieved offset or length is invalid(i.e. exceeds node_size), the code may end up     accessing pages outside the allocated range for this node. This patch adds proper validation of both     offset and length before use, preventing out-of-bounds page access. Move is_bnode_offset_valid and     check_and_correct_requested_length to hfsplus_fs.h, as they may be required by other functions.
