Subject: [PATCH -next] fs: Fix type mismatch for pos variable
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2024 09:45:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240108014536.43971-1-yang.lee@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
The 'pos' variable within __cachefiles_prepare_write() and related
functions is intended to store the return value from vfs_llseek(),
which is of loff_t type. However, it was incorrectly declared as
an unsigned long long, which is an unsigned type and cannot store
negative error values returned by vfs_llseek().
This patch corrects the type of 'pos' variable to loff_t, ensuring
that error codes are properly handled and facilitating proper type
conversion from the cachefiles_inject_read_error function.
