[PATCH] 64-bit sector_t - various driver changes
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.
