Hi David,
I was looking at some coccinelle reports for linux-next and
saw the following warning for this comparison:

WARNING: Unsigned expression compared with zero: cur < 0

I think 'cur' needs to be of type 'ssize_t' for this comparison to work.

The same warning is reported for the variable 'transferred' above, and
also for do_test_iouring() and do_test_vmsplice_in_parent() in
"selftests/vm: anon_cow: add liburing test cases".
