Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:59:19 -0500 From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] NET: Fix skb_truesize_check() assertion The intent of the assertion in skb_truesize_check() is to check for skb->truesize being decremented too much by other code, resulting in a wraparound below zero. The type of the right side of the comparison causes the compiler to promote the left side to an unsigned type, despite the presence of an explicit type cast. This defeats the check for negativity. Ensure both sides of the comparison are a signed type to prevent the implicit type conversion.
