Let me figure out this.

Commit 0fc5035fc66d26776bebd45c508a9bce3611f388 in linux-next changed
'size' from unsigned long to ssize_t, causing a compile warning, and
then Randy posted a patch to fix it:
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120958902125650&w=2

But this patch was wrongly merged into mainline, causing the compile warning
you described here.

So we should revert Randy's patch and re-apply it to linux-next ?
