Fixing a bug in team driver due to incorrect 'unsigned int' to 'int' conversion
Roundrobin runner of team driver uses 'unsigned int' variable to count the number of sent_packets. Later it is passed to a subroutine team_num_to_port_index(struct team *team, int num) as 'num' and when we reach MAXINT (2**31-1), 'num' becomes negative. This leads to using incorrect hash-bucket for port lookup and as a result, packets are dropped. The fix consists of changing 'int num' to 'unsigned int num'. Testing of a fixed kernel shows that there is no packet drop anymore. Signed-off-by: Alex Sidorenko <alexandre.sidorenko@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
