Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: msghandler: Fix a signedness bug
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2020 14:27:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200918142756.GB909725@mwanda> (raw)
The type for the completion codes should be unsigned char instead of
char. If it is declared as a normal char then the conditions in
__get_device_id() are impossible because the IPMI_DEVICE_IN_FW_UPDATE_ERR
error codes are higher than 127.
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:2449 __get_device_id()
warn: impossible condition '(bmc->cc = 209) => ((-128)-127 = 209)'
Fixes: f8910ffa81b0 ("ipmi:msghandler: retry to get device id on an error")
