Thank you !
1) How did you run sparse to detect this error. When I ran below command, it did not throw this error/warning ?
make C=2 net/core/ V=s
sparse version is 0.6.4
2) Is it okay to change variable type of "used_keys" from "unsigned int" to "unsigned long long" to accommodate this.
This variable is used at lot of places in the code.
