Subject[PATCH] block: Fix implicit unsigned to signed conversion
Date
An unsigned integer variable may be assigned negative values, and is
returned by the function with an implicit conversion to signed. Besides
the implicit conversion at return time for which the variable
representation is fine and there is no variable manipulation that may
lead to bugs in the current code base, this is a conceptual error.

Fix by changing the variable type from unsigned to signed.
