'count' is unsigned. It is initialized to zero, then it can be increased multiple times, and finally it is used in such a way: >>>> count--; | | /* clear timestamp and dma mappings for remaining portion of packet */ | while (count >= 0) { | count--; | ... ^ If count is zero here (so, it was never increased), we would have a very long loop :) Signed-off-by: Kulikov Vasiliy <segooon@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c b/drivers/net/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c index 73f1e75..af49135 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c @@ -2935,7 +2935,8 @@ static int ixgbevf_tx_map(struct ixgbevf_adapter *adapter, struct ixgbevf_tx_buffer *tx_buffer_info; unsigned int len; unsigned int total = skb->len; - unsigned int offset = 0, size, count = 0; + unsigned int offset = 0, size; + int count = 0; unsigned int nr_frags = skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags; unsigned int f; int i; -- 1.7.0.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
