lib: percpu_counter_sub
Hugh spotted that some code does: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong) which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number. Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is: percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo) is equal to: percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo); Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
