[PATCH 4.19 102/105] ext4: unsigned int compared against zero

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 20 2019 - 08:27:37 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fbbbbd2f28aec991f3fbc248df211550fbdfd58c upstream.

There are two cases where u32 variables n and err are being checked
for less than zero error values, the checks is always false because
the variables are not signed. Fix this by making the variables ints.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 345c0dbf3a30 ("ext4: protect journal inode's blocks using block_validity")
