From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kfifo: fix ternary sign extension bugs The intent with this code was to return negative error codes but instead it returns positives. The problem is how type promotion works with ternary operations. These functions return long, "ret" is an int and "copied" is a u32. The negative error code is first cast to u32 so it becomes a high positive and then cast to long where it's still a positive. We could fix this by declaring "ret" as a ssize_t but let's just get rid of the ternaries instead.
