At a 32 bit guest UML with current kernel git tree I putted a printk into that function :
void truncate_inode_pages_range(struct address_space *mapping, loff_t lstart, loff_t lend) { ... cond_resched(); index++; printk (" <------------ and got (while fuzzying the UML guest with trinity) this output in the UML guest: Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:42 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:43 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:5 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1035468800 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:16 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:4 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:2 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:4184867847 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:3 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1727 end:4294967295 Nov 24 12:06:53 trinity kernel: index:1 end:4294967295 I'm wondering if index is expected to become sometimes so big. -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
