That's wrong and I think will give a warning on all machines where
u64 != unsigned long. Might not particularly matter in this case.
Crud, sorry.
Also, generally it seems wrong to say "fix lockdep failure" when the
patch really fixes a bug that lockdep happened to find.
True. I guess it should be "fix locking error found with lockdep", to
make it clear no one has actually hit the bug.
cheers
