Khalid reported that the kernel selftests are currently failing:
selftests: test_bpf.sh
========================================
test_bpf: [FAIL]
not ok 1..8 selftests: test_bpf.sh [FAIL]
He bisected it to 6ce711f2750031d12cec91384ac5cfa0a485b60a ("idr: Make
1-based IDRs more efficient").
The root cause is doing a signed comparison in idr_alloc_u32() instead
of an unsigned comparison. I went looking for any similar problems and
found a couple (which would each result in the failure to warn in two
situations that aren't supposed to happen).
I knocked up a few test-cases to prove that I was right and added them
to the test-suite.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
