Subject: [PATCH] Remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses and compilation warning.
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2016 20:57:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467905249-3990-1-git-send-email-arvind.yadav.cs@gmail.com> (raw)
Passing value in IS_ERR_VALUE() is wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.
Passing an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
Any user will get compilation warning for that do not pass an
'unsigned long' argument.
Commit '287980e49f; - This change is alreday fixes lots of other
worst abusers.
