In cfb_copyarea(), when initializing *unsigned long const* bits_per_line

Also, that bits_per_line constant is used to advance *unsigned* src_idx
and dst_idx variables -- which might be overflowed as well; declaring
them as *unsigned long* should fix that too...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

you wrote:

This would only be true on 64-bit CPUs, where unsigned long is 64 bits,

    Right, Svace was run with the arm64 and x86_64 configs -- and I forgot
to make the emphasis on the 64-bit specifics here...

while on 32-bit CPUs, it's still 32 bits (same as _u32).

    Yes, indeed. That *unsigned long const* doesn't seem justified
at all then...

Instead we could make bits_per_line __u32 (or unsigned int) too.

    Yes. Will you accept such a patch? :-)

Sure.
