Probably not.  Just leave it as it is.

I wondered about that too.  I think we have completely removed the
fiction that 'nobody' is '-2' rather than '65534' so it should be both
safe and sensible to make them unsigned.


Ummm ... sorry for butting in here :-) But uid_t is always unsigned, yes.

OK.  In the event that uid_t some day ceases to eventually become an
int, will the casts help, or will they just suppress useful warnings?

Sharp eyes, thanks!  I'll make a patch.  Uh, any objection if I print
all those uid's as unsigned while I'm at it?

Nothing? I was just having a little self-muse.

If one was really anal, one could typecast it to an unsigned long long in
the printk, then feel smug when we switch to 64-bit uid's.

Cast the variable to a type that printf knows about.
   seq_printf(m, ",anonuid=%d", (int)anonu);

Or maybe cast it to (long) and use %ld, just in case...

Note the stray 's' in the current patch, after the comma!

OK, here I'm still confused--what should we be doing instead?
