Subject: [PATCH 8/8] drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c: Fix return value from an unsigned function
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:00:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283713226-8429-9-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1283713226-8429-1-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk>

The function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant
to indicate an error condition.  Another error condition in the same
function is indicated by returning 0, and indeed the only call to the
function checks for 0 to detect errors, so the return of a negative value
it converted to a return of 0.

A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
identifier f;
constant C;
@@

 unsigned f(...)
 { <+...
*  return -C;
 ...+> }
// </smpl>
