Hello Dmitry Eremin, The patch 97cba1302d89: "staging: lustre: fix comparison between signed and unsigned" from Sep 18, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_request.c:973 osc_init_grant() warn: unsigned 'cli->cl_avail_grant' is never less than zero. drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/osc/osc_request.c 955 static void osc_init_grant(struct client_obd *cli, struct obd_connect_data *ocd) 956 { 957 /* 958 * ocd_grant is the total grant amount we're expect to hold: if we've 959 * been evicted, it's the new avail_grant amount, cl_dirty_pages will 960 * drop to 0 as inflight RPCs fail out; otherwise, it's avail_grant + 961 * dirty. 962 * 963 * race is tolerable here: if we're evicted, but imp_state already 964 * left EVICTED state, then cl_dirty_pages must be 0 already. 965 */ 966 spin_lock(&cli->cl_loi_list_lock); 967 if (cli->cl_import->imp_state == LUSTRE_IMP_EVICTED) 968 cli->cl_avail_grant = ocd->ocd_grant; 969 else 970 cli->cl_avail_grant = ocd->ocd_grant - 971 (cli->cl_dirty_pages << PAGE_SHIFT); 972 973 if (cli->cl_avail_grant < 0) { This used to be long but we made it unsigned long. 974 CWARN("%s: available grant < 0: avail/ocd/dirty %ld/%u/%ld\n", 975 cli->cl_import->imp_obd->obd_name, cli->cl_avail_grant, 976 ocd->ocd_grant, cli->cl_dirty_pages << PAGE_SHIFT); 977 /* workaround for servers which do not have the patch from 978 * LU-2679 979 */ 980 cli->cl_avail_grant = ocd->ocd_grant; 981 } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
