Subject: [PATCH 3/5] dma: dmatest: fix potential sign bug
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 19:19:48 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279379988-15232-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> (raw)
'cnt' is unsigned, so this code may become wrong in future as
dmatest_add_threads() can return error code:
cnt = dmatest_add_threads(dtc, DMA_MEMCPY);
thread_count += cnt > 0 ? cnt : 0;
^^^^^^^
Now it can return only -EINVAL if and only if second argument of
dmatest_add_threads() is not one of DMA_MEMCPY, DMA_XOR, DMA_PQ.
So, now it is not wrong but may become wrong in future.
The semantic patch that finds this problem (many false-positive results):
