in the ceph_common.c file, to strictly comply with the requirements
of the %x format specifier and avoid type mismatch and overflow
issues, d should be defined as an unsigned int type.

The main action happens here [1]:

tmp[0] = str[0];
tmp[1] = str[1];
if (sscanf(tmp, "%x", &d) < 1)
	break;
fsid->fsid[i] = d & 0xff;

So, tmp is two symbols array with terminating '\0' symbol.
Finally, we make conversion of two digits (or two bytes) string
into the number. The maximum possible number could be 0xFFFF (65535).
Frankly speaking, I don't see how we can have the overflow issue here.
Could you please explain more clearly your point?

Thanks,
Slava.
