[PATCH] block: make nr_iovecs unsigned in bio_alloc_bioset()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There isn't a bug here, but Smatch is not smart enough to know that
"nr_iovecs" can't be negative so it complains about underflows.
Really, it's slightly cleaner to make this parameter unsigned.
