When handling the gssd downcall, the kernel should distinguish between a successful downcall that contains an error code and a failed downcall (i.e. where the parsing failed or some other sort of problem occurred). In the former case, gss_pipe_downcall should be returning the number of bytes written to the pipe instead of an error.
