[ Upstream commit d1c3cc34f5a78b38d2b809b289d912c3560545df ]
Dan Carpenter points out that from commit 2aa8c529387c ("bcache: avoid
unnecessary btree nodes flushing in btree_flush_write()"), there is a
incorrect data type usage which leads to the following static checker
warning:
drivers/md/bcache/journal.c:444 btree_flush_write()
warn: 'ref_nr' unsigned <= 0
drivers/md/bcache/journal.c
422 static void btree_flush_write(struct cache_set *c)
423 {
424 struct btree *b, *t, *btree_nodes[BTREE_FLUSH_NR];
425 unsigned int i, nr, ref_nr;
^^^^^^
426 atomic_t *fifo_front_p, *now_fifo_front_p;
427 size_t mask;
428
429 if (c->journal.btree_flushing)
430 return;
431
432 spin_lock(&c->journal.flush_write_lock);
433 if (c->journal.btree_flushing) {
434 spin_unlock(&c->journal.flush_write_lock);
435 return;
436 }
437 c->journal.btree_flushing = true;
438 spin_unlock(&c->journal.flush_write_lock);
439
440 /* get the oldest journal entry and check its refcount */
441 spin_lock(&c->journal.lock);
442 fifo_front_p = &fifo_front(&c->journal.pin);
443 ref_nr = atomic_read(fifo_front_p);
444 if (ref_nr <= 0) {
^^^^^^^^^^^
Unsigned can't be less than zero.
445 /*
446 * do nothing if no btree node references
447 * the oldest journal entry
448 */
449 spin_unlock(&c->journal.lock);
450 goto out;
451 }
452 spin_unlock(&c->journal.lock);
As the warning information indicates, local varaible ref_nr in unsigned
int type is wrong, which does not matche atomic_read() and the "<= 0"
checking.
This patch fixes the above error by defining local variable ref_nr as
int type.

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.
