Subject: [PATCH] SCSI-lpfc: Use a signed return type for two functions
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2015 19:44:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5675A576.8020008@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2015 19:32:27 +0100

The return type "size_t" was used by the functions "lpfc_wwn_set"
and "lpfc_oas_lun_state_set" despite of the aspect that they will
eventually return a negative error code.
Improve this implementation detail by using the type "ssize_t" instead.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
