Subject: [PATCH][V2][Fix commit message] x86/RAS/mce_amd_inj: fix signed wrap around when decrementing index i
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:22:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160916112223.32398-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Integer index i needs to be a signed int rather than unsigned to avoid
a wrap-around when decrementing in the while loop.  For example, if the
debugfs_create_file fails when i is zero, the current situation will
predecrement i in the while loop, wrapping i to the maximum signed
integer and cause multiple out of bounds reads on dfs_fls[i].d as
the loop interates to zero.

Also add (int) cast to fix warning that the original fix attempted
to fix.
