Here I'm sure about this,
but there are plenty unsigned types arithmetic in the kernel.
take kmalloc_array() function as an example in /tools/virto/linux/kernel.h
static inline void *kmalloc_array(unsigned n, size_t s, gfp_t gfp)
{
return kmalloc(n * s, gfp);
}
NOTE that *size_t* is an unsigned integral data type.
