Assigning signed function result to unsigned variable can indicate error. To decrease number of false positives patch looks if after assignment there is also check for negative values of the result.
Signed-off-by: Andrzej Hajda <[email protected]> --- Hi, This patch tries to catch bugs related to losing possible negative function results and complements my previous patch[1]. I have found about 20 real bugs thanks to it. I will post related kernel patches on LKML.
