The check for an underflow of tmp_prefered_lft is always false because tmp_prefered_lft is unsigned. The intention of the check was to guard against racing with an update of the temp_prefered_lft sysctl, potentially resulting in an underflow. As suggested by David Miller, the best way to prevent the race is by reading the sysctl variable using READ_ONCE.
