[PATCH 10/9] swapfile: change discard pgoff_t to sector_t

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Sun Nov 30 2008 - 19:31:32 EST


Change pgoff_t nr_blocks in discard_swap() and discard_swap_cluster() to
sector_t: given the constraints on swap offsets (in particular, the 5 bits
of swap type accommodated in the same unsigned long), pgoff_t was actually
safe as is, but it certainly looked worrying when shifted left.
