Despite mmc_ioc_multi_cmd::num_of_cmds is a 64-bit field, its maximum value is limited to MMC_IOC_MAX_CMDS (only 255); using a 64-bit local variable to hold a copy of that field leads to gcc generating ineffective loop code: despite the source code using an *int* variable for the loop counters, the 32-bit object code uses 64-bit unsigned counters. Also, gcc has to drop the most significant word of that 64-bit variable when calling kcalloc() and assigning to mmc_queue_req::ioc_count anyway. Using the *unsigned int* variable instead results in a better code. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
