    [PATCH] 64-bit sector_t - various driver changes · 9f2f568c
    Andrew Morton authored
    peter's code works for me, and the 40-odd people who download
    the -mm patches.  Anton has tested it on ppc64 and I presume that
    Peter has tested it on ia64.  I use gcc-2.91.66 and others use
    later compilers.  I expect that any remaining problems will
    mainly be caught by the compiler.  And compiler bugs can be
    detected by turning off the option in config and seeing if things
    get better.
    
    From Peter Chubb
    
     - do_request() function takes sector_t not unsigned long as the
       block number to operate on.
     - Various casts to long where the underlying device can never get
       big enough to warrant a 64-bit sector offset.
     - Cast sector_t to unsigned long long when printing.
