I've looked through this series and I feel like none of these are real
bugs.  It's just about type safety and being consistent.  Which are good
things.  I'm not sure that I like the parts where we make the variables
signed.

Here "nscheds" is the number of threads.  How can we have a negative
number?  I think it should be unsigned.  It's way more tricky to change
the rest of the code, and leave nscheds unsigned int but I think it's
probably the right thing.

I've made the module param nsched signed because the
ksock_tunables.ksnd_nscheds (the real container) is signed too.

I definitely agree with you that it does not make sense to have a
negative number of threads.
In my opinion it's better to fix this inconsistency between the param
and the container and then try submit another patch to harmonize
signedness around the code.

Thanks,
Stefano

Yeah.  I know.  And it's way more involved and controversial to change
ksock_tunables.

No one will ever think about types again if Sparse stops complaining.
It's better to keep the error message instead of silencing it in a less
than ideal way because it means we have to think about types.
Eventually someone will get sick of the warning and write a huger patch
that rewrites a lot of code.

Can you not line-wrap these sparse warning lines, it makes them hard to
read.  It's ok to leave them as very long lines in the changelog.

This feels wrong, u64 should be used instead, can the code be fixed up
to use that type properly?  Don't rely on long long anywhere, it's hard
to always know what it should be on all arches...

Please fix up and resend this series based on the reviews you've gotten
so far.

You may like to use imperative mood for your git log brief descriptions
Stefano.  

s/fixed/fix/

For justification see Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

Specifically section 2 of that document.

Hope this helps,

Someone once chewed me a second butt hole for not using the imperative
mood so I know some people care intensely about this but I think so long
as you can understand the description it's fine.  I will never send a
patch for that maintainer's subsystem again, btw, which is probably
grateful for and now I can poop twice as fast so we're both winners.

Especially in the 0/4 patch which is going to be discarded.  Who cares?

dan carpenter

I try to only make these suggestions to people doing clean up patches to
staging, with the reasoning that if we are learning we might as well
learn the correct method from the start.

I try to be polite and helpful, I am not very long past learning these
things myself. No one likes being told they are wrong, better to learn
how to take it while in staging, that's what it's there for right.

Definitely agree for the 0/4 patch, doesn't _need_ imperative mood.

For the record, I love your short snappy reviews Dan. My current

	Nope

I burst out laughing when I got that one. It spurred me on to greater
things (though I'm not sure everyone would be equally encouraged :)

All the best,
Tobin.
