Length undergoes type conversion when passed (indirectly) as an argument for parameter of type 'unsigned int'. If length is negative this is a bug (the value after conversion is large). Declare 'length' to be an unsigned type instead of a signed type. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
