Subject: [PATCH 5/8] mm: pass LLONG_MAX to truncate_inode_pages_range
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:56:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1340967370-13728-5-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1340967370-13728-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com>
Currently we're passing -1 to truncate_inode_pages_range() which is
actually really confusing since the argument is signed so we do not get
"huge" number as one would expect, but rather just -1. To make things
clearer and easier for truncate_inode_pages_range() just pass LLONG_MAX
since it is actually what was intended anyway.
It also makes thing easier for allowing truncate_inode_pages_range() to
handle non page aligned regions. Moreover letting the lend argument to
be negative might actually hide some bugs.
