To avoid confusing the compiler about possible negative sizes, switch
"ssize" which can never be negative from int to u32.  Seen with GCC 13:

../fs/jfs/namei.c: In function 'jfs_symlink': ../include/linux/fortify-string.h:57:33: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' pointer overflow between offset 0 and size [-2147483648, -1]

Had you considered using size_t - this is set from a strlen and used by a memcpy
that both talk size_t.

I considered that, but I've had other maintainers upset about doubling
the variable size. I opted to keep the variable 32-bit here, so the
machine code would only change to lose signed-ness.

I bet at least on some platforms it's cheaper as the 64 bit.

Thread ping. Can someone pick this up (or Ack it for my tree), please?

Applied to the vfs.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.misc branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.

On x86-64 'unsigned int' and 'signed long' are likely to
generate the best code.

If you use 'signed int' it will to have to be sign extended
if used in a 64-bit expression (eg as an array index).

(That is probably true of most 64bit arch.)

OTOH 'unsigned long' always requires a REX prefix - making the
code that bit larger.
