Subject[PATCH] ipvs: use explicitly signed chars
Date
The `char` type with no explicit sign is sometimes signed and sometimes
unsigned. This code will break on platforms such as arm, where char is
unsigned. So mark it here as explicitly signed, so that the
todrop_counter decrement and subsequent comparison is correct.
