[NETLINK]: negative groups in netlink_setsockopt
Reading netlink_setsockopt it's not immediately clear why there isn't a bug when you pass in negative numbers, the reason being that the >= comparison is really unsigned although 'val' is signed because nlk->ngroups is unsigned. Make 'val' unsigned too. [ Update the get_user() cast to match. --DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
