From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> commit fbbbbd2f28aec991f3fbc248df211550fbdfd58c upstream.
There are two cases where u32 variables n and err are being checked for less than zero error values, the checks is always false because the variables are not signed. Fix this by making the variables ints.
