The return value from the call to scsi_execute_cmd() is int. In the 'else if' branch of the function scsi_execute_cmd, it will return -EINVAL. But the type of "the_result" is "unsigned int", causing the error code to reverse. Modify the type of "the_result" to solve this problem. The code featuring the_result as the return value of the function scsi_execute_cmd is as follows: the_result = scsi_execute_cmd(sdkp->device, cmd, REQ_OP_DRV_IN, NULL, 0, SD_TIMEOUT, sdkp->max_retries, &exec_args); if (the_result > 0) { ... } ./drivers/scsi/sd.c:2333:6-16: WARNING: Unsigned expression compared with zero: the_result > 0.
