[PATCH] vboxsf: fix comparison of signed char constant with unsigned char array elements

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The comparison of signed char constants with unsigned char array
elements leads to checks that are always false. Fix this by declaring
the VBSF_MOUNT_SIGNATURE_BYTE* macros as octal unsigned int constants
rather than as signed char constants. (Argueably the U is not necessarily
required, but add it to be really clear of intent).

Addresses-Coverity: ("Operands don't affect result")
Fixes: 0fd169576648 ("fs: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support")
