Subject[PATCH] trivial little type correction in mm/filemap.c::wait_on_page_writeback_range
This patch changes the variable 'i' in 
mm/filemap.c::wait_on_page_writeback_range from 'unsigned int' to int.
The only use of 'i' is in the for loop, and the array being indexed is
PAGEVEC_SIZE in size (and with PAGEVEC_SIZE being 14, an int is fully
sufficient) and in the loop itself 'i' is being compared to 'nr_pages'
which is defined as 'int' at the top of the function. So, as far as I can
see changing 'i' to int makes sense - it is more than large enough for
what it's used for, it then matches the type it is compared against
exactely and it avoids a signed vs unsigned comparison.
