Subject: [PATCH 6.12 057/117] cifs: Fix TCP_Server_Info::credits to be signed
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 19:36:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027183455.558391985@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027183453.919157109@linuxfoundation.org>
6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
commit 5b2ff4873aeab972f919d5aea11c51393322bf58 upstream.
Fix TCP_Server_Info::credits to be signed, just as echo_credits and
oplock_credits are. This also fixes what ought to get at least a
compilation warning if not an outright error in *get_credits_field() as a
pointer to the unsigned server->credits field is passed back as a pointer
to a signed int.
