[libvirt] [PATCH] maint: avoid potential promotion issues with [ug]id_t

[Eric Blake]

POSIX does not guarantee whether uid_t and gid_t are signed or
unsigned, nor does it guarantee whether they are smaller, same
size, or larger than int (or even the same size as one another).
Therefore, it is possible to have platforms where '(uid_t)-1==-1'
is false or where 'uid = gid = -1' sets uid to the wrong value,
thanks to integer promotion rules.  The only portable way to use
the placeholder value of these two types is to always use a cast.
Thankfully, the issue is mostly theoretical - sanlock only
compiles on Linux for now, and on Linux, these types do not
suffer from strange promotion problems.

* src/locking/lock_driver_sanlock.c
(virLockManagerSanlockSetupLockspace, virLockManagerSanlockInit)
(virLockManagerSanlockCreateLease): Cast -1 to proper type before
comparing with uid_t or gid_t.
