Subject: kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() to return a signed int value
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc1~85^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=144ecf310eb52d9df607b9b7eeb096743e232a96;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() to return a signed int value

Add a new __kfifo_int_must_check_helper() helper function, which is needed
for kfifo_alloc() to return the right signed integer value.

The origin __kfifo_must_check_helper() helper was renamed into
__kfifo_uint_must_check_helper() to show the sign which is expected and
returned.

(And revert the temporary disabling of __kfifo_must_check_helper())
