Subject: [PATCH] parport : "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:49:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <475EE9B5.8060208@cosmosbay.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 277 bytes --]
While auditing proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() usage in kernel, I
found a bug
in drivers/parport/procfs.c, incorrectly using sizeof(int) instead of
sizeof(unsigned long)
Only 64bit arches are affected by this old bug.
