I found out that there is also an entry for this on kernel.org's bugzilla wit patches http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469 I think this is a decision the kernel guys would have to make. Upstream issue, we'll need to wait until the correct patch is merged into the official kernel. The upstream bug has been closed as it appears the current behavior is working and it's not worth increasing the general size of this field. If you can reproduce the 32bit wrapping problem on a recent kernel, please file a new bug. |
