[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7b29828c5af6841bdeb9fafa32fdfeff7ab9c407 ]

Signedness of char is signed on x86_64, but unsigned on arm64.

Fix the warning building cmsg_sender.c on signed platforms or
forced with -fsigned-char:

    msg_sender.c:455:12:
    error: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'char'
    changes value from 128 to -128
    [-Werror,-Wconstant-conversion]
        buf[0] = ICMPV6_ECHO_REQUEST;

constant ICMPV6_ECHO_REQUEST is 128.
