Subject: [PATCH] kvm: svm: fix unsigned compare less than zero comparison
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 07:11:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160919061159.6341-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
vm_data->avic_vm_id is a u32, so the check for a error
return (less than zero) such as -EAGAIN from
avic_get_next_vm_id currently has no effect whatsoever.
Fix this by using a temporary int for the comparison
and assign vm_data->avic_vm_id to this. I used an explicit
u32 cast in the assignment to show why vm_data->avic_vm_id
cannot be used in the assign/compare steps.
