Subject: [PATCH] new ioctl type checking causes gcc warning
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 12:13:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F621AC4.4070507@cox.net> (raw)
Submitted by: Kevin P. Fleming (kpfleming at cox dot net)
Date: 2003-09-12
Initial Package Version: 2.6.0-test5
Origin: Kevin P. Fleming (kpfleming at cox dot net)
Description: The definition of __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC is signed,
which causes an signed/unsigned comparison error to be
emitted by GCC (at least for 3.3.1).
