The code was unpacking the 'allow' parameter twice. This change removes the duplicate part. Signed-off-by: Shen Lichuan <redacted>NAK, this would break the unpack. The first entry is actually a reserved value and is just being thrown away atm. Instead of double unpacking to perms->allow we could unpack it to a temp variable that just gets discarded
