3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: YASUAKI ISHIMATSU <yasu.isimatu@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d09b0137d204bebeaafed672bc5a244e9ac92edb upstream.
find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn()s find the smallest/biggest section
and return the pfn of the section. But the functions are defined as int.
So the functions always return 0x00000000 - 0xffffffff. It means if
memory address is over 16TB, the functions does not work correctly.
To handle 64 bit value, the patch defines
find_{smallest|biggest}_section_pfn() as unsigned long.
Fixes: 815121d2b5cd ("memory_hotplug: clear zone when removing the memory")
