Subject: [patch] ipmi: make static checkers happy about range checks
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 19:26:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100917190702.GA5384@bicker> (raw)

I'm working on a Smatch check that complains that addr->channel comes
from the user and it might be negative.  It actually can *not* be
negative because we already checked that when we called
ipmi_validate_addr() from handle_send_req().  Also it can't be greater
than or equal to IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS because we already verified that as
well.

Although this change doesn't do anything, it's still a cleanup because
it makes the checking consistent and also it silences the static
analysis warnings.

Really, I would prefer to just make ->channel unsigned but the type
comes from the IPMI spec.
