[PATCH] fbcon: Use correct type for vc_resize() return value

From: Jiacheng Yu

Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 04:57:13 EST


The return value of vc_resize() is int, but fbcon_set_disp() stores it
in an unsigned long variable. While the !ret check happens to work
correctly by coincidence (negative values become large positive values),
the types should match. Use int instead.

Eliminates the following W=3 warning:

drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c: In function 'fbcon_set_disp':
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:1494:14: warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned long' [-Wconversion]

Fixes: af0db3c1f898 ("fbdev: Fix vmalloc out-of-bounds write in fast_imageblit")
