[lvc-project] [PATCH] drivers: net: bsd_comp: fix integer overflow in bsd_decompress()

[Sergey Shtylyov]

Hello!

   Failed to notice an issue with the subject in the internal review;
I think it should look like "net: ppp: bsd_comp: fix integer overflow
in bsd_decompress()"...

   So far, so good... :-)

   *ibuf maybe? :-)

   I wonder whether you had looked at the .lsy file before writing
that...
   Actually, movzvl (%rdi),%eax is used when reading *buf, so no 
sign extension occurs at this point... it occurs when casting the 
result of shift to *unsignjed long*

   Only if we have 1 in the bit 31 after shl %cl,%eax...

   I strongly suspect we should re-declare accm as *unsigned int*
instead...
