Currently, num_loops is unsigned, but it's set by strtoll, which returns a (signed) long long int. This could lead to overflow, and it also makes the check "num_loops < 0" always be false, since num_loops is unsigned. Setting num_loops to -1 to loop forever is almost working because num_loops is getting set to a very high number, but it's technically still incorrect. Fix this issue by making num_loops signed. This also fixes an error found by Smatch.

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.
