I don't think we're actually likely to hit this limit but if we do then the comparison should be done as size_t. The original code is equivalent to: len = strlen(sptr) % USHRT_MAX; Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I was told this patch "has already made it upstream via the v9fs pull." but it must have been dropped accidentally.
