Subject: LogFS: confused with using s64 and u64
Hi Joern
I am a bit confused with mixing signed and unsigned types here:
static inline u64 dev_ofs(struct super_block *sb, u32 segno, u32 ofs)
{
return ((u64)segno << logfs_super(sb)->s_segshift) + ofs;
}
static s64 logfs_get_free_bytes(struct logfs_area *area, size_t bytes)
{
s32 ofs;
...
ofs = area->a_used_bytes;
...
return dev_ofs(area->a_sb, area->a_segno, ofs);
}
Can you please explain why do you use s64 for function which returns u64?
