[PATCH] mm/shmem.c: fix division by zero

From: Yuri Tikhonov
Date: Fri Dec 19 2008 - 00:55:44 EST



The following patch fixes division by zero, which we have in
shmem_truncate_range() and shmem_unuse_inode(), if use big
PAGE_SIZE values (e.g. 256KB on ppc44x).

With 256KB PAGE_SIZE the ENTRIES_PER_PAGEPAGE constant becomes
too large (0x1.0000.0000), so this patch just changes the types
from 'ulong' to 'ullong' where it's necessary.
