Subject: swapfile: swapon needs larger size type
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=73fd8748ab0b9b3ddd178bea1d7ae03372033d96;p=linux-beck.git

swapfile: swapon needs larger size type

sys_swapon()'s swapfilesize (better renamed swapfilepages) is declared as
an int, but should be an unsigned long like the maxpages it's compared
against: on 64-bit (with 4kB pages) a swapfile of 2^44 bytes was rejected
with "Swap area shorter than signature indicates".
