From cb87a9562cca933c97a482f09a36542b876608e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 00:26:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: drop (int) cast on length arg in NLMSG_OK The NLMSG_OK macro compares three things: - the len arg from the user - a size_t: sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) - an int: sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) casted - an u32: the nlmsghdr->nlmsg_len member When building with -Wsign-compare, this macro triggers a signed compare warning. This is because it compares len to an int, and then compares it to a u32. If len is signed, we get a warning due to the last test. If len is unsigned, we get a warning due to the first test. Like in strace: socketutils.c:145:8: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare] Lets drop the int cast on the first sizeof. This way, once the user casts len to an unsigned value, everything shakes out correctly.
