[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mprotect-use-long-for-page-accountings-and-retval.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2023 17:52:06 -0500

Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().

The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be
half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on
any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.

Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":

  1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
     a long type.

  2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.

Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int.  Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow
too during the int-size convertion.
