Subject: 9p: saving negative to unsigned char
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3dc9fef67f6292692dba181a6d0fd0211bd0a607;p=deliverable%2Flinux.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().
