From f520409cfd3844660cedef8dc560ed0443e7f192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:16:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test_kmod: remove paranoid UINT_MAX check on uint range processing The UINT_MAX comparison is not needed because "max" is already an unsigned int, and we expect developer C code max value input to have a sensible 0 - UINT_MAX range. Note that if it so happens to be UINT_MAX + 1 it would lead to an issue, but we expect the developer to know this.
