Comparing an int to a size, which is unsigned, causes the int to become unsigned, giving the wrong result. i2c_smbus_read_block_data can return the result of i2c_smbus_xfer, whih can return a negative error code. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ int x; expression e,e1; identifier f; @@ *x = f(...); ... when != x = e1 when != if (x < 0 || ...) { ... return ...; } *x < sizeof(e) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
