If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Russ Anderson commit 6bc2e853c6b46a6041980d58200ad9b0a73a60ff upstream. Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only the the first 8 TB of memory shows up. This is due to "int i" being smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be dropped. The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned and end_aligned. Thanks to Jack Steiner for assistance tracking this down. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson Cc: Jack Steiner Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: David S.
