[21/26] xen-gntalloc: signedness bug in add_grefs()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Nov 18 2011 - 19:12:14 EST


3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 99cb2ddcc617f43917e94a4147aa3ccdb2bcd77e upstream.

gref->gref_id is unsigned so the error handling didn't work.
gnttab_grant_foreign_access() returns an int type, so we can add a
cast here, and it doesn't cause any problems.
gnttab_grant_foreign_access() can return a variety of errors
including -ENOSPC, -ENOSYS and -ENOMEM.
