[PATCH,1/2] genhd: avoid overflow of sectors in disk_stats

From: Huijin Park
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 04:33:24 EST


From: "huijin.park" <huijin.park@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch changes the 'sectors' type to an u64.
In 32 bit system, the 'sectors' can accumulate up to about 2TiB.
If a 32 bit system makes i/o over 2TiB while running,
the 'sectors' will overflow.
As a result, the part_stat_read(sectors), the diskstats in proc and
the (lifetime|session)_write_kbytes in sysfs return invalid statistic.
