From 5ebd4c22897dce65845807a9bd3a31cc4e142b53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soeren Sandmann Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:55:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] highmem: Fix race in debug_kmap_atomic() which could cause warn_count to underflow debug_kmap_atomic() tries to prevent ever printing more than 10 warnings, but it does so by testing whether an unsigned integer is equal to 0. However, if the warning is caused by a nested IRQ, then this counter may underflow and the stream of warnings will never end. Fix that by using a signed integer instead.
