From: Peter Xu Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 11:47:13 +0000 (+0900) Subject: mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval X-Git-Tag: v6.1.160~24 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=238ff5056d392fcb1022b20966d6e1c58dade6a1;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git mm/mprotect: use long for page accountings and retval commit a79390f5d6a78647fd70856bd42b22d994de0ba2 upstream. Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole procedure of change_protection(). The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE. Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long": 1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes a long type. 2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future. Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(), where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow too during the int-size convertion.
