The patch titled parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is parport-dev-timeslice-is-an-unsigned-long-not-an-int.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> While auditing proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax() usage in kernel, I found a bug in drivers/parport/procfs.c, incorrectly using sizeof(int) instead of sizeof(unsigned long) Only 64bit arches are affected by this old bug.
