[PATCH 2/3] mm/mprotect: Use long for page accountings and retval

From: Peter Xu
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 17:56:58 EST


Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().

The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be half
comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on any
system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.

Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":

1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.

2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.

Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow too
during the int-size convertion.
