This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ksmbd: Fix unsigned expression compared with zero to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ksmbd-fix-unsigned-expression-compared-with-zero.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 067906a59bde568ee1837933ac8b39fcf4b150be Author: Wang Ming <machel@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 4 15:40:47 2023 +0800 ksmbd: Fix unsigned expression compared with zero [ Upstream commit 0266a2f791294e0b4ba36f4a1d89b8615ea3cac0 ] The return value of the ksmbd_vfs_getcasexattr() is signed. However, the return value is being assigned to an unsigned variable and subsequently recasted, causing warnings. Use a signed type.
