Hello,

I am patching the linux-2.4 kernel tree from vger.samba.org with jfs-1.0.15
to get jfs on my sparc32 (sun4m).

   florin@bird:~$ uname -a
   Linux bird 2.4.18-vger-ext3 #1 Sat Mar 9 01:33:12 CST 2002 sparc unknown
   florin@bird:~$ gcc -v
   Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/2.95.4/specs
   gcc version 2.95.4  (Debian prerelease)

When compiling linux/fs/jfs/namei.c file the following warnings occured:

   namei.c: In function `jfs_mkdir':
   namei.c:200: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of
   data type
   namei.c: In function `jfs_link':
   namei.c:832: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of
   data type
   namei.c: In function `jfs_rename':
   namei.c:1175: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of
   data type

I see the respective code has not changed in the latest cvs (2002-03-10).

Should I be worried about that? When could that cause problems?

Thank you,
florin
