[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 5e088248375d171b80c643051e77ade6b97bc386 ]

In the setup_arg_pages(), ret is declared as an unsigned long.
The ret might take a negative value. Therefore, its type should
be changed to int.
