[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-bufio: make the parameter "retain_bytes" unsigned long

[Mikulas Patocka]

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to unsigned
long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than 4GiB of data
to be retained.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment
	"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.
