[PATCH] Avoid that check_shl_overflow() triggers a compiler warning when building with W=1

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Wed Mar 06 2019 - 20:02:05 EST


This patch avoids that the following warning is reported when building
the mlx5 driver with W=1:

drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c: In function set_user_rq_size:
./include/linux/overflow.h:230:6: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]
_s >= 0 && _s < 8 * sizeof(*d) ? _s : 0; \
^
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c:5820:6: note: in expansion of macro check_shl_overflow
if (check_shl_overflow(rwq->wqe_count, rwq->wqe_shift, &rwq->buf_size))
