From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b40b3e9358fbafff6a4ba0f4b9658f6617146f9c upstream We accidentally removed the check for negative returns without considering the issue of type promotion. The "if_version_length" variable is type size_t so if __mei_cl_recv() returns a negative then "bytes_recv" is type promoted to a high positive value and treated as success.
