From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 09:09:24 +0000 Subject: [patch] ncpfs: don't allow negative timeouts Message-Id: <20151110090924.GB2934@mwanda> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Petr Vandrovec Cc: Jan Kara , David Howells , Andrew Morton , Al Viro , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org This code causes a static checker warning because it's a user controlled variable where we cap the upper bound but not the lower bound. If someone passes us a negative timeout then I guess lets set it to the default.
