[ Upstream commit 045ed31e23aea840648c290dbde04797064960db ] The kfifo_to_user() macro is supposed to return zero for success or negative error codes. Unfortunately, there is a signedness bug so it returns unsigned int. This only affects callers which try to save the result in ssize_t and as far as I can see the only place which does that is line6_hwdep_read(). TL;DR: s/_uint/_int/.

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.
