[patch] mvsas: don't allow negative timeouts

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

 



There is a static checker warning here because "val" is controlled by
the user and we have a upper bound on it but allow negative numbers.
"val" appears to be a timeout in usec so this bug probably means we
have a longer timeout than we should.  Let's fix this by changing "val"
to unsigned.

Checkpatch has several complaints about this code but I left it as-is.
