Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From 28589ea9aabb080020ab3c79adcecad5d7315f39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:39:03 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] compilation warning is caused when using hweight_long with -Wsign-compare option. Warning message is ' include/linux/bitops.h: In function 'hweight_long': include/linux/bitops.h:49: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression The reason is that the default return value of this macro is signed. So, need type casting to remove warning.
