[PATCH v5 05/19] mm, swap: widen swap_info_struct max/pages to unsigned long
From: Baoquan He
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 00:57:41 EST
From: Baoquan He <hebaoquan@xxxxxxxxxx>
si->max and si->pages are unsigned int. With 4 KiB pages, this limits
an xswap device to 16 TB. xswap may need a larger address space, so
change both fields to unsigned long.
Several places still use unsigned int for offsets and indexes. Widen
them as well:
- the return value of cluster_offset() and the cluster scan helpers;
- the allocation offsets in cluster_alloc_swap_entry() and
swap_alloc_fast();
- the indexes in find_next_to_unuse() and try_to_unuse().
Also change the related print formats from %u to %lu.
A real swap device is still limited by swap_header.info.last_page,
which is __u32. So this only widens the xswap address space. The old
overflow clamp in read_swap_header() is no longer needed; the header
check still limits real devices.
count_swap_pages() returns unsigned int and is only used by
hibernation. Hibernation never selects an xswap device. If that ever
changes, WARN and return 0 instead of silently truncating the value.
