The kernel_recvmsg() function returns an int which could be either negative error codes or the number of bytes received. The problem is that the condition: if (ret < sizeof(*icresp)) { is type promoted to type unsigned long and negative values are treated as high positive values which is success, when they should be treated as failure. Add a cast so to avoid the type promotion.
