[PATCH v2] xen: Fix implicit type conversion
Posted by Jiasheng Jiang 2 years, 6 months ago
The variable 'i' is defined as UINT.
However in the for_each_possible_cpu, its value is assigned to -1.
That doesn't make sense and in the cpumask_next() it is implicitly
type conversed to INT.
It is universally accepted that the implicit type conversion is
terrible.
Also, having the good programming custom will set an example for
others.
Thus, it might be better to change the definition of 'i' from UINT
to INT.

Fixes: 3fac101 ("xen: Re-upload processor PM data to hypervisor after S3 resume (v2)")
