      NFS4: avoid underflow when converting error to pointer. · 62d98c93
      NeilBrown authored
      In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error
      code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it
      is an 'enum' and hence unsigned.
      
      The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it
      is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling
      ERR_PTR.
      
      On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in
      the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted
      to a pointer.  Subsequent code determines that this is not
      negative, and so  dereferences it with predictable results.
      
      So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR.
