The patch titled
proc: fix inode number bogorithmetic
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-fix-inode-number-bogorithmetic.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: proc: fix inode number bogorithmetic
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes
from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a.
Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove()
masks out that high bit before doing anything.
All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number().
I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK" is
not an inversion for "& MAX" operation.
So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int,
while I'm at it. Its longness is not used anywhere.
