io_u->error can have either negative errno value or device-specific error status as a positive value. fio always tries to parse the errno with strerrno() and it expects the value to be a positive one. Commit ebe67b667f25 ("io_uring: Add IO_U_F_DEVICE_ERRROR to identify error types") tried to abs(io_u->error) to convert it first. And it caused the following build warning: engines/io_uring.c:553:16: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned int' has no effect [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value] io_u->error = abs(io_u->error); ^ engines/io_uring.c:553:16: note: remove the call to 'abs' since unsigned values cannot be negative io_u->error = abs(io_u->error); ^~~ Commit 9eaa8e7c8e0b ("engines/io_uring: don't use abs() on an unsigned value") tried to remove the warning by removing abs() on io_u->error, but if so, negative errno (e.g., -EINVAL) can't be parsed properly like: fio: io_u error on file /dev/ng0n1: Unknown error -22: write offset=429916160, buflen=1048576 This patch fixed this fixed to convert to positive value properly by casting it first to int and then do abs() on it.
