Subject: blk-settings.c integer truncation

Hello.

commit e475bba2fdee9c3dbfe25f026f8fb8de69508ad2
introduced 'void blk_set_default_limits(struct queue_limits *lim)'

blkdev.h
...
#endif
#define BLK_BOUNCE_ANY		(-1ULL)
#define BLK_BOUNCE_ISA		(ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD)


struct queue_limits {
	unsigned long		bounce_pfn;
	unsigned long		seg_boundary_mask;
....
};

Assignment at block/blk-settings.c:115 (4 bytes = 8 bytes):
lim->bounce_pfn = BLK_BOUNCE_ANY;

leads to truncation:
block/blk-settings.c: In function ‘blk_set_default_limits’:
block/blk-settings.c:115: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type


Should BLK_BOUNCE_ANY be (-1UL)?


Thanks.

	Sergey

p.s.
In case it's already fixed - let me know.
