Subject: smpboot: fix cachesize comparison in smp_tune_scheduling()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8387c1a46376b8cfc5f4751b27a6c90f930992cf;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

smpboot: fix cachesize comparison in smp_tune_scheduling()

Jarek Poplawski noted that boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_size is signed int
and can be < 0 too.

In fact we test for it. Except we assigned it to an unsigned value..
