[PATCH] Make sure abs() works as expected with both ints and longs
The abs() macro is commonly used to calculate the modulus of a difference of two numbers. With the introduction of "long" inside the definition of abs() in the commit a49c59c042c63b432307c1bbf7dac5a104c786e6, some of the abs() calls in the kernel started returning unexpected values (for instance, see abs() usage i... 28 Jul 2010 11:52
