Hi Li,
> There is a problem in cgroup lib that the declearation int
> can lead to -1 during the | operation.
> Becasue if the field contains uninitialized garbage data,
> a bit-field declared as int could interpret 0b1 as -1 due
> to signed arithmetic.
> By changing the type to unsigned int, the issue is avoided
> since unsigned fields cannot represent negative values.
