The ki_complete called from af_alg_async_cb use ternary operator to get
the value of second argument.As err is signed int while resultlen is
unsigned int, by the precedence rule err is also processed as unsigned
int and lose its original value.Hence, it is advised to cast both err
and resultlen as long which is expected by the definition of ki_complete
call as its 2nd argument. This will retain the original signed value of
err.

 Declaration of ki_complete in file linux/include/linux/fs.h  in struct
kiocb {...
	void (*ki_complete)(struct kiocb *iocb, long ret, long ret2);
	...
 }

Why are you casting err when it's already signed? You can rewrite
it as

	err ?: (int)resultlen

Please also add a fixes header for the commit that introduced this
bug.

Thanks,
