From: hank <[email protected]> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. -------------------
commit cbbc719fccdb8cbd87350a05c0d33167c9b79365 upstream. The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the correct result.
