So you oppose stating that second part after "and"? My main motivation was keeping the types consistent when I noted that the code does unnecessary conversion to unsigned long (that's the first part before "and"). Of course it has the added benefit of being 32-bit compatible but it was just a thought I added "automatically" without paying much attention on whether it's realistic to assume resctrl selftest as whole would work with 32-bit or not (objectively, the after patch code is 32-bit compatible but it of course gives no guarantees about the rest of the resctrl selftest code base). -- i.
