The higher bits of the timer expiration are cropped while calling calc_index() due to the implicit cast from unsigned long to unsigned int. This loss shouldn't have consequences on the current code since all the computation to calculate the index is done on the lower 32 bits. However to prepare for returning the actual bucket expiration from calc_index() in order to properly fix base->next_expiry updates, the higher bits need to be preserved.

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.
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.
