scsi: fix operator precedence warning
> - *tcp_source_port_num = (uint16_t) mbox_sts[6] >> 16; + *tcp_source_port_num = (uint16_t) (mbox_sts[6] >> 16); I wonder why we need that cast at all? The fact that tcp_source_port_num is a uint16_t* should cause the value to get truncated properly anyway. But I agree that this patch is a minimal fix ... 26 Apr 2010 13:46
