We could parse them as unsigned instead--but it turns out svcgssd is actually passing down "-1" in some cases. Which is perhaps stupid, but there's nothing we can do about it now. So just revert back to the previous "sloppy" behavior that accepts either representation. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Sven Geggus Signed-off-by: J.
