Subject: [Patch] Fix signedness error in drivers/media/video/vivi.c
Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 18:19:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1156004367.17863.2.camel@alice> (raw)

hi,

when checking the -Wextra signedness warnings issued by gcc 4.1
I came across this one:

drivers/media/video/vivi.c:1001: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Since videobuf_reqbufs() returns negative values on errors the current
code does no real error checking since gcc removes the comparison.
This patch fixes this issue by making ret a normal, signed integer.
