Subject: [PATCH] Don't bump up LLONG_MAX nr_to_write by a factor of 8
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:03:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C892F89.90201@redhat.com> (raw)

I'm uneasy with lots of stuff going on in ext4_da_writepages(),
but bumping nr_to_write from LLONG_MAX to -8 clearly isn't
making anything better, so avoid the multiplier in that case.
