This is so much worse than the problems we had with printing u64's and it's being done as a result to the "fix" for that.

Hi David ! I think this patch specifically is different and deserve a second look. While the other patches are somewhat debatable (I do agree with you for example that we shouldn't break the possibility of building for 32-bit, and we shouldn't artifically add crud to silence warnings caused by the u64 type change etc... I'll send separate replies to the other messages later), in the case of this specific patch, I think it's actually more correct to define a "flags" field that is used by set_bit() and test_bit() using "long" rather than "u64" (for that same reason you mention, which is 32/64-bit compatibility). IE. The bitops operate on longs. Thus the field should be a long, period. The compatibility here consists of making sure we don't use bits above 31, which in this case is find since we use a short enum. Thus the patch is makes the code cleaner and more correct regardless of the type change of u64. So from my side, this patch is Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cheers, Ben. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

These changes will avoid several warnings when we change u64 to unsigned long long. Also, ehea_driver_flags is only used in ehca_main.c Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> --- drivers/net/ehea/ehea.h | 3 +-- drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
