Subject: pktgen: Fix unsigned function that is returning negative vals
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf0813bd282f6ded0a5efca3db238287f7a3dbe8;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

pktgen: Fix unsigned function that is returning negative vals

Every call to num_args() immediately checks the return value for
less than zero, as it will return -EFAULT for a failed get_user()
call.  So it makes no sense for the function to be declared as an
unsigned long.
