Oh yes, I missed that ret is also used for the result of read().

Some lines down there is also a combination of

ret = enter_cgroup() (which is int)

and

ret = write()


Just confusing but yes, because ret is also used for read() and write()
in those cases it should be ssize_t.

I'm sorry for the noise.
