Subject: [PATCH] befs: redundant test on unsigned in befs_get_block()?
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:14:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AD88DE1.1080900@gmail.com> (raw)

block is unsigned, this test appears redundant.

Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com>

Or is a different test required?
