Subject: 9p: saving negative to unsigned char
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~9833^2~2428^2
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3dc9fef67f6292692dba181a6d0fd0211bd0a607;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

9p: saving negative to unsigned char

Saving -EINVAL as unsigned char truncates the high bits and changes it
into 234 instead of -22.  This breaks the test for "if (ret == -EINVAL)"
in parse_opts().
