[PATCH v3] mm: KSM: fix data type

From: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-06 11:14:02
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - ksm (kernel samepage merging), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

ksm_stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs is declared as int, but in
stable__node_chains_prune_millisecs_store(), it can store values up to
UINT_MAX. Change its type to unsigned int.

Signed-off-by: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy <redacted>
---
v2 -> v3:
 As suggested by Hugh Dickins,
 - discard changes to ksm_run

v1 -> v2:
 - merge two patches into one

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210716055800.GA255851@asus (local) 
v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/15/866
