Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu: remove conversion of seq_file position to unsigned
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2025 11:28:53 -0700

Back in 2.6 era, last_addr used to be stored in seq_file->version
variable, which was unsigned long.  As a result, sentinels to represent
gate vma and end of all vmas used unsigned values.  In more recent kernels
we don't used seq_file->version anymore and therefore conversion from
loff_t into unsigned type is not needed.  Similarly, sentinel values don't
need to be unsigned.  Remove type conversion for set_file position and
change sentinel values to signed.  While at it, change the hardcoded
sentinel values with named definitions for better documentation.
