Subject[34-longterm 229/247] epoll: convert max_user_watches to long
Date
From: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 52bd19f7691b2ea6433aef0ef94c08c57efd7e79 upstream.

On a 16TB machine, max_user_watches has an integer overflow. Convert it
to use a long and handle the associated fallout.
