3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 59a5e266c3f5c1567508888dd61a45b86daed0fa upstream.
My static checker complains that "devno" can be negative, meaning that
we read before the start of the loop. I've looked at the code, and I
think the warning is right. This come from /proc so it's root only or
it would be quite a quite a serious bug. The call tree looks like this:
proc_scsi_write() <- gets id and channel from simple_strtoul()
-> scsi_add_single_device() <- calls shost->transportt->user_scan()
-> ata_scsi_user_scan()
-> ata_find_dev()
