Subject: 


Hello

This patch series was begun by my finding that memcpy_[to|from]_msg have
a parameter len which is an int but used as size_t in whole functions.
Without blindly changing the parameter to size_t, I have tried to see if
anywhere in linux source code, someone give a negative argument with
the following (unfinished) coccinnelle patch.
virtual report
@@
type T;
signed T i;
@@
(
memcpy_from_msg
|
memcpy_to_msg
)
 (...,
- i)
+ (size_t)i)

With that I found many place where int variable is used to store unsigned values
and which could be set as size_t since there are used againt size_t
and/or given to functions that wait for size_t.
It permit also to found a bug in net/llc/af_llc.c where a size_t variable
stored error codes.

Regards
