[PATCH] sched: Fix implicit type conversion
From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Mon Oct 25 2021 - 04:18:21 EST
The variable 'n' is defined as ULONG. However in the cpumask_next(),
it is used as INT.
That is vulnerable and may cause overflow.
Therefore, it might be better to define 'n' as INT.
Fixes: cb152ff ("sched: Fix /proc/sched_stat failure on very very large systems")
