      net: fix bogus cast in skb_pagelen() and use unsigned variables · c72d8cda
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      1) cast to "int" is unnecessary:
         u8 will be promoted to int before decrementing,
         small positive numbers fit into "int", so their values won't be changed
         during promotion.
      
         Once everything is int including loop counters, signedness doesn't
         matter: 32-bit operations will stay 32-bit operations.
      
         But! Someone tried to make this loop smart by making everything of
         the same type apparently in an attempt to optimise it.
         Do the optimization, just differently.
         Do the cast where it matters. :^)
      
      2) frag size is unsigned entity and sum of fragments sizes is also
         unsigned.
      
      Make everything unsigned, leave no MOVSX instruction behind.

      netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table · 32d84cdc
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes
      are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket
      change inside .text.
      
      16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix.

      netlink: use "unsigned int" in nla_next() · 3b2c75d3
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      ->nla_len is unsigned entity (it's length after all) and u16,
      thus it can't overflow when being aligned into int/unsigned int.
      
      (nlmsg_next has the same code, but I didn't yet convince myself
      it is correct to do so).
      
      There is pointer arithmetic in this function and offset being
      unsigned is better:

      size_t is way too much for an integer not exceeding 64.
