Subject: [PATCH V1 6.1.y 1/2] mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:11:00 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111071101.680906-2-harry.yoo@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251111071101.680906-1-harry.yoo@oracle.com>

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

commit a79390f5d6a78647fd70856bd42b22d994de0ba2 upstream.

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.
