The patch titled parport: "dev->timeslice" is an unsigned long, not an int has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was parport-dev-timeslice-is-an-unsigned-long-not-an-int.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
