commit0bdb50c531upstream. A dm-raid array with devices larger than 4GB won't assemble on a 32 bit host since _check_data_dev_sectors() was added in 4.16. This is because to_sector() treats its argument as an "unsigned long" which is 32bits (4GB) on a 32bit host. Using "unsigned long long" is more correct. Kernels as early as 4.2 can have other problems due to to_sector() being used on the size of a device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
