From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:24:36 +0000 Subject: [patch 2/2] xen-gntalloc: signedness bug in add_grefs() Message-Id: <20111104182436.GE5796@elgon.mountain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org, xen-devel@lists.xensource.com, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk gref->gref_id is unsigned so the error handling didn't work. gnttab_grant_foreign_access() returns an int type, so we can add a cast here, and it doesn't cause any problems. gnttab_grant_foreign_access() can return a variety of errors including -ENOSPC, -ENOSYS and -ENOMEM.
