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.
