From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 014704e6f54189a203cc14c7c0bb411b940241bc ] The "count < sizeof(struct os_area_db)" comparison is type promoted to size_t so negative values of "count" are treated as very high values and we accidentally return success instead of a negative error code. This doesn't really change runtime much but it fixes a static checker warning.
