linux/include/net/sock.h: In function âsk_rmem_scheduleâ:
linux/nfs-2.6/include/net/sock.h:1339:13: warning: comparison between
  signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]

Seen with gcc (GCC) 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) using the
-Wextra option.

[c76562b6: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock] accidentally replaced
the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int. This
changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes
a signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit
type conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.

Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are
exactly the same.
