slot_store() uses kstrtouint() to get a slot number, but stores the result in an "int" variable (by casting a pointer). This can result in a negative slot number if the unsigned int value is very large. A negative number means that the slot is empty, but setting a negative slot number this way will not remove the device from the array. I don't think this is a serious problem, but it could cause confusion and it is best to fix it.

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. 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.
