From 38316c8ab7f17bc1be8f2898278d5f5131e18bf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:48:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs/compat_ioctl.c: fix an underflow issue (harmless) We cap "nmsgs" at I2C_RDRW_IOCTL_MAX_MSGS (42) but the current code allows negative values. It's harmless but it makes my static checker upset so I've made nsmgs unsigned.
