Subject: [RFC][PATCH][2.4] Fix negative diskstats
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 00:03:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031230080336.GP1882@matchmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I noticed that my diskstats were reporting negative numbers, and after a
hint from Andreas Dilger I found the problem.

The variables are unsigned int, but they're being reported as signed in proc.
