[PATCH 2.6.26-rc4] Fix nesting error checking inarch/x86/mm/ioremap.c

From: Mika Kukkonen
Date: Tue May 27 2008 - 02:17:22 EST


The discussion about latest -rc reminded me of this patch (probably
unrelated but anyway). With "-Wextra" I get following warning:

CC arch/x86/mm/ioremap.o
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c: In function 'early_iounmap':
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:599: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Following patch avoids potential underflow and actually does the WARN().
