That's another difference between the "unlocked" and the traditional > version.. The return values want to be "long" sign extended all the way back down to syscall dispatch, I think this is just an effort to add some consistency here so that the int --> long extension eventually can be eliminated once unlocked_ioctl is the only case left. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
