Comparing an int to a size, which is unsigned, causes the int to become unsigned, giving the wrong result. usb_get_descriptor can return a negative error code. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ int x; expression e,e1; identifier f; @@ *x = f(...); ... when != x = e1 when != if (x < 0 || ...) { ... return ...; } *x < sizeof(e) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/wusbcore/security.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/wusbcore/security.c b/drivers/usb/wusbcore/security.c index 33d2f5d..14ac8c9 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/wusbcore/security.c +++ b/drivers/usb/wusbcore/security.c @@ -217,7 +217,7 @@ int wusb_dev_sec_add(struct wusbhc *wusbhc, result = usb_get_descriptor(usb_dev, USB_DT_SECURITY, 0, secd, sizeof(*secd)); - if (result < sizeof(*secd)) { + if (result < (int)sizeof(*secd)) { dev_err(dev, "Can't read security descriptor or " "not enough data: %d\n", result); goto out; -- 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
