[PATCH] netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int

2016-11-16 Thread Alexey Dobriyan

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned. There are 2 reasons to do so: 1) This field is really an index into an zero based array and thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound access by definition. 2) On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers via array
