[PATCH mmotm] nilfs2: fix wrong counting of checkpoints and dirty segments

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Mon Feb 02 2009 - 07:32:25 EST


Reinoud Zandijk found that counters for the number of checkpoints and
the number of dirty segments go wrong after a garbage collection.

This problem turns out to be a bug of counter operations using
le64_cpu_add() with a negative variable like:

le64_cpu_add(&counter, -n);

where the variable n was not u64.

This fixes the problem by casting the delta to (u64).
