[patch 41/44] make thread_info.flags an unsigned long

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Wed Feb 01 2006 - 04:05:51 EST


The *_bit() routines are defined to work on a pointer to unsigned long.
And the thread_info.flags is passed to *_bit() routines in
include/linux/thread_info.h. But

- alpha: flags is unsigned int
- ia64, sh, x86_64: flags is __u32

So flags should be changed to unsigned long instead.

The only affected 64-platforms are little endian, so it will work
without this change. But it's better to change it before people copy the
code to a big endian platform.
