From 453db36863668df08078838029d988b72f0ee994 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: htbegin Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 23:00:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: use ssize_t instead of size_t to prevent infinite loop When a all 0xFF buffer is passed to drop_ffs, the no-0xFF check loop will loop forever. After the fix, If ssize_t i = -1 and size_t l = i + 1, the value of l will still be 0 as expected.
