This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme-tcp: fix signedness bug in nvme_tcp_init_connection() to the 6.13-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: nvme-tcp-fix-signedness-bug-in-nvme_tcp_init_connect.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b17d52d57b2895fd1feddd56ef46b19490b91551 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 5 18:52:59 2025 +0300 nvme-tcp: fix signedness bug in nvme_tcp_init_connection() [ Upstream commit 528361c49962708a60f51a1afafeb00987cebedf ] The kernel_recvmsg() function returns an int which could be either negative error codes or the number of bytes received. The problem is that the condition: if (ret < sizeof(*icresp)) { is type promoted to type unsigned long and negative values are treated as high positive values which is success, when they should be treated as failure. Handle invalid positive returns separately from negative error codes to avoid this problem.
