that change looks right, but I can't see how that could
happened because of change in Fixes: tag
was the return statement of this function:
return tot_hitm_left - tot_hitm_right;
considered to be 'unsigned int' and then converted to int64_t,
which would treat negative 'unsigned int' as big positive 'int64_t'?
