pstore/zone: cleanup "rcnt" type
The info->read() function returns ssize_t. That means that info->read() either returns either negative error codes or a positive number representing the bytes read. The "rcnt" variable should be declared as ssize_t as well. Most places do this correctly but psz_kmsg_recover_meta() needed to be fixed. This code casts the "rcnt" to int. That is unnecessary when "rcnt" is already signed. It's also slightly wrong because if info->read() returned a very high (more than INT_MAX) number of bytes then this might treat that as an error. This bug cannot happen in real life, so it doesn't affect run time, but static checkers correctly complain that it is wrong. fs/pstore/zone.c:366 psz_kmsg_recover_data() warn: casting 'rcnt' truncates high bits Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YrRtPSFHDVJzV6d+@kili
