Subject: [PATCH 2/6] UML - Use 64-bits for block size on x86_64
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:43:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070817194340.GA8739@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

The BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects a pointer to a long, os_file_size was providing
an int. Therefore, ubd access to host block devices caused a segmentation
fault on 64 bits systems.
