From: Tim Sell <Timothy.Sell@xxxxxxxxxx> The caller of visor_copy_fragsinfo_from_skb() is prepared to log a dev_err() message if it fails (by returning a negative value), so we now just fail in the one occasion where visor_copy_fragsinfo_from_skb() was doing a BUG_ON. There was also a problem before where visor_copy_fragsinfo_from_skb() was returning a negative to indicate error, yet it was declared to return an unsigned value! So obviously that needed correcting too.
