calc_tpm2_event_size() has an invalid signature because it returns a 'size_t' where as its signature says that it returns 'int'. Fixes: 4d23cc323cdb ("tpm: add securityfs support for TPM 2.0 firmware event log") Suggested-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <redacted> Signed-off-by: YueHaibing <redacted>Two remarks: - git config user.name "Yue Haibing" - "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" before the fixes tag.'Theoretical' bug fixes are not suitable for stable
AFAIK there is no hard rule here. For this one line change I think it makes sense to backport it even if it is only for avoiding conflicts with future backports. /Jarkko
