From 1f55176763a6556916d4c41c80eba7c69d5d3e5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mateusz Guzik Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:07:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipc: fix compat msgrcv with negative msgtyp commit e7ca2552369c1dfe0216c626baf82c3d83ec36bb upstream. Compat function takes msgtyp argument as u32 and passes it down to do_msgrcv which results in casting to long, thus the sign is lost and we get a big positive number instead. Cast the argument to signed type before passing it down.
