My concern was if this cause build issues with old kernel versions, but as far as I can see the signature is like this at least since 2005, so that should be OK. A few minor comments below. And overall for the patch, I suggest postponing this to next release, since we are just about the release v21.11. Although change looks safe and trivial, still I think it doesn't worth the risk, taking account that current code is at it is for years now, it can wait a little more. > Signed-off-by: Markus Theil <markus.theil@secunet.com> > Tested-by: Michael Pfeiffer <michael.pfeiffer@tu-ilmenau.de> > --- > kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c | 24 ++++++++++++------------ > 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c b/kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c > index f4944e1ddf..d4e00abc40 100644 > --- a/kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c > +++ b/kernel/linux/kni/kni_misc.c > @@ -245,7 +245,7 @@ kni_check_param(struct kni_dev *kni, struct rte_kni_device_info *dev) > return 0; > } > > -static int > +static long > kni_run_thread(struct kni_net *knet, struct kni_dev *kni, uint8_t force_bind) > { > /** > @@ -286,12 +286,12 @@ kni_run_thread(struct kni_net *knet, struct kni_dev *kni, uint8_t force_bind) > return 0; > } > > -static int > +static long > kni_ioctl_create(struct net *net, uint32_t ioctl_num, > unsigned long ioctl_param) > { > struct kni_net *knet = net_generic(net, kni_net_id); > - int ret; > + long ret; > struct rte_kni_device_info dev_info; > struct net_device *net_dev = NULL; > struct kni_dev *kni, *dev, *n; > @@ -416,7 +416,7 @@ kni_ioctl_create(struct net *net, uint32_t ioctl_num, > > ret = register_netdev(net_dev); > if (ret) { > - pr_err("error %i registering device \"%s\"\n", > + pr_err("error %li registering device \"%s\"\n", > ret, dev_info.name); > kni->net_dev = NULL; > kni_dev_remove(kni);> @@ -437,12 +437,12 @@ kni_ioctl_create(struct net *net, uint32_t ioctl_num, > return 0; > } > > -static int > +static long > kni_ioctl_release(struct net *net, uint32_t ioctl_num, > unsigned long ioctl_param) > { > struct kni_net *knet = net_generic(net, kni_net_id); > - int ret = -EINVAL; > + long ret = -EINVAL; > struct kni_dev *dev, *n; > struct rte_kni_device_info dev_info; > 'kni_run_thread()', 'kni_ioctl_create()' & 'kni_ioctl_release()' are all static functions, I think it is OK to keep their signature.
