From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
[ Upstream commit 3bc57292278a0b6ac4656cad94c14f2453344b57 ]
slot_store() uses kstrtouint() to get a slot number, but stores the result in an "int" variable (by casting a pointer). This can result in a negative slot number if the unsigned int value is very large.
A negative number means that the slot is empty, but setting a negative slot number this way will not remove the device from the array. I don't think this is a serious problem, but it could cause confusion and it is best to fix it.
