Ok. I see.
What about such implementation?
static inline unsigned long
nilfs_palloc_groups_count(const struct inode *inode)
{
#define NILFS_DESC_BLOCKS_MAX UINT_MAX
return nilfs_palloc_groups_per_desc_block(inode) *
(unsigned long)NILFS_DESC_BLOCKS_MAX;
#undef NILFS_DESC_BLOCKS_MAX
}
With the best regards,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.
