    Subject[071/107] time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long
    2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

    From: hank <pyu@redhat.com>

    commit cbbc719fccdb8cbd87350a05c0d33167c9b79365 upstream.

    The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
    easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it
    to a sign-extended u64 type.

    Change the type to unsigned long so we get the correct result.
