This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx4_en: Fix type mismatch for 32-bit systems to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mlx4_en-fix-type-mismatch-for-32-bit-systems.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Dec 6 17:39:55 CET 2017 From: Slava Shwartsman <slavash@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:37:12 +0200 Subject: net/mlx4_en: Fix type mismatch for 32-bit systems From: Slava Shwartsman <slavash@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 61b6034c6cfdcb265bb453505c3d688e7567727a ] is_power_of_2 expects unsigned long and we pass u64 max_val_cycles, this will be truncated on 32 bit systems, and the result is not what we were expecting. div_u64 expects u32 as a second argument and we pass max_val_cycles_rounded which is u64 hence it will always be truncated. Fix was tested on both 64 and 32 bit systems and got same results for max_val_cycles and max_val_cycles_rounded.
