Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: use "unsigned long" for PFN in zone_for_pfn_range()
From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7cf209ba8a86410939a24cb1aeb279479a7e0ca6 upstream.
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: preparatory patches for new online policy and memory"
These are all cleanups and one fix previously sent as part of [1]:
[PATCH v1 00/12] mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory
groups.
These patches make sense even without the other series, therefore I pulled
them out to make the other series easier to digest.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210607195430.48228-1-david@xxxxxxxxxx
This patch (of 4):
Checkpatch complained on a follow-up patch that we are using "unsigned"
here, which defaults to "unsigned int" and checkpatch is correct.
As we will search for a fitting zone using the wrong pfn, we might end
up onlining memory to one of the special kernel zones, such as ZONE_DMA,
which can end badly as the onlined memory does not satisfy properties of
these zones.
Use "unsigned long" instead, just as we do in other places when handling
PFNs. This can bite us once we have physical addresses in the range of
multiple TB.
