[ 103/108] lockd: fix arg parsing for grace_period and timeout.

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 30 2012 - 17:08:49 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>

commit de5b8e8e047534aac6bc9803f96e7257436aef9c upstream.

If you try to set grace_period or timeout via a module parameter
to lockd, and do this on a big-endian machine where

sizeof(int) != sizeof(unsigned long)

it won't work. This number given will be effectively shifted right
by the difference in those two sizes.

So cast kp->arg properly to get correct result.
