From e946d3c887a9dc33aa82a349c6284f4a084163f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2021 23:33:35 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix a sign extension bug The problem is the mismatched types between "ctx->total_len" which is an unsigned int, "rc" which is an int, and "ctx->rc" which is a ssize_t. The code does: ctx->rc = (rc == 0) ? ctx->total_len : rc; We want "ctx->rc" to store the negative "rc" error code. But what happens is that "rc" is type promoted to a high unsigned int and 'ctx->rc" will store the high positive value instead of a negative value. The fix is to change "rc" from an int to a ssize_t.
