Hello Mike Marshall,

The patch ac6163f8a3f3: "Orangefs: kernel client part 2" from Jul 17, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning:

	fs/orangefs/dir.c:256 pvfs2_readdir()
	warn: bool is not less than zero.

fs/orangefs/dir.c
249 if (pos = 0) {
250 ino = get_ino_from_khandle(dentry->d_inode);
251 gossip_debug(GOSSIP_DIR_DEBUG,

   252                               "%s: calling dir_emit of \".\" with pos = %llu\n",
   253                               __func__,
   254                               llu(pos));
   255                  ret = dir_emit(ctx, ".", 1, ino, DT_DIR);
   256                  if (ret < 0)
                            ^^^^^^^

Most callers don't check for negative here. I have no idea about fs/ though so I'm not sure what was intended.

   257                          goto out_destroy_handle;
   258                  ctx->pos++;
   259                  gossip_ldebug(GOSSIP_DIR_DEBUG,
   260                                "%s: ctx->pos:%lld\n",
   261                                __func__,
   262                                lld(ctx->pos));
   263                  pos++;
   264          }
