Subject: [PATCH] fs/befs/linuxvfs.c: need signed cast for variable 'block'
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:52:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5271C5E5.6080606@asianux.com> (raw)
Need signed cast for it, the original author assume the type of 'block'
is long, so just cast to long. The related warnings (with allmodconfig):
fs/befs/linuxvfs.c:136:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
