This shouldn't be just for max_size, it should be for all variables that
are set in the *_read_poll functions (those that you touch in patch 3).

These variables are than used very little, basically only in a

    len = MAX(s->max_size, sizeof(buf))

statement, so this switch is safe.  However, the order of the patches
should be first 4, then this one (the assertion shows that the switch to
unsigned is safe), then 5-6-9-10, then 7-8.  If you convert
implementations before users, the users could in principle overflow
"int" when passing an arguments or storing its value.

All this of course should be documented in commit messages, which are a
bit... scant in this series. :)  I'm usually okay with very short commit
messages when the changes are spread across many commits (in that case,
I usually document what all the repetitive changes are in the patches
before and/or after those changes), but in this case you are leaving out
completely the "why" for the changes, and that's not really a good idea.

Finally, can you please include a patch to adjust the assertions in the
USB smartcard code, as mentioned in my original reply to Prasad?

Thanks,

Paolo
