[PATCH 3/6] IMA: use unsigned int instead of long for counters

From: Eric Paris
Date: Tue Oct 19 2010 - 18:59:46 EST


Currently IMA uses 2 longs in struct inode. To save space (and as it seems
impossible to overflow 32 bits) we switch these to unsigned int. The
switch to unsigned does require slightly different checks for underflow,
but it isn't complex.
