If adapter->retries is set to a minus value from user space via ioctl, it will make __i2c_transfer and __i2c_smbus_xfer skip the calling to adapter->algo->master_xfer and adapter->algo->smbus_xfer that is registered by the underlying bus drivers, and return value 0 to all the callers. The bus driver will never be accessed anymore by all users, besides, the users may still get successful return value without any error or information log print out. If adapter->timeout is set to minus value from user space via ioctl, it will make the retrying loop in __i2c_transfer and __i2c_smbus_xfer always break after the the first try, due to the time_after always returns true.

README
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.
