The code here is supposed to take a signed int and store it in a signed
long long. Unfortunately, the way that the type promotion works with
this conditional statement is that it takes a signed int, type promotes
it to a __u32, and then stores that as a signed long long. The result is
never negative.
This is from static analysis, but I made a little test program just to
test it before I sent the patch:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
unsigned long long src = -1ULL;
signed long long dst1, dst2;
int is_signed = 1;
dst1 = is_signed ? *(int *)&src : *(unsigned int *)0;
dst2 = is_signed ? (signed long long)*(int *)&src : *(unsigned int *)0;
printf("%lld\n", dst1);
printf("%lld\n", dst2);
return 0;
}

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.
