It's actually not "signed vs unsigned", but a "size + endianess" problem.

Also, looking at SO_VM_SOCKETS_* code in the test, it uses unsigned long 
and size_t which (I believe) will both shrink to 4 bytes on 32-bit 
machines, while the corresponding kernel code in af_vsock.c uses u64. It 
looks to me that this kernel code will be unhappy to receive just 4 
bytes when it expects 8.
