Using an unsigned int is fine as per statfs(2): NOTES The __fsword_t type used for various fields in the statfs structure defini‐ tion is a glibc internal type, not intended for public use. This leaves the programmer in a bit of a conundrum when trying to copy or compare these fields to local variables in a program. Using unsigned int for such vari‐ ables suffices on most systems. I would prefer an explicit cast though.

Should we also fix this cast?

This won't fly on x86_64 where f_type is long. I think we can use __fsword_t directly.

Hmm, __fsword_t is still a long int but the f_type member is defined as unsigned int in the userspace header. Also, I am against exposing any internal data types. virFileIsSharedFixFUSE could just return the value, the return value right now is not checked anyways.

Hmm, __fsword_t is still a long int but the f_type member is defined as unsigned int in the userspace header.
What header file are you looking at? From /usr/include/bits/statfs.h: struct statfs { __fsword_t f_type; __fsword_t f_bsize; /* ..... */ __fsid_t f_fsid; __fsword_t f_namelen; __fsword_t f_frsize; __fsword_t f_flags; __fsword_t f_spare[4]; };
Also, I am against exposing any internal data types.
It's not internal if it is exposed in a public header file.
virFileIsSharedFixFUSE could just return the value, the return value right now is not checked anyways.
Sure, but since you claim the f_type member is an unsigned type, then we would hit the sign warning anyway. Also, not sure. If virFileIsSharedFixFUSE() is unable to tell the filesystem it should not touch the f_type at all. Michal

Ok, then I guess Daniel's solution is the most simple one.

On s390x the struct member f_type of statsfs is hard coded to 'unsigned int'. So let's try to determine the type by means of the GNU extension typeof.
