Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix int overflow in callers of do_shrink_slab()
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 14:28:32 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <153813407177.17544.14888305435570723973.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

do_shrink_slab() returns unsigned long value, and
the placing into int variable cuts high bytes off.
Then we compare ret and 0xfffffffe (since SHRINK_EMPTY
is converted to ret type).

Thus, big number of objects returned by do_shrink_slab()
may be interpreted as SHRINK_EMPTY, if low bytes of
their value are equal to 0xfffffffe. Fix that
by declaration ret as unsigned long in these functions.
