    ext4: address UBSAN warning in mb_find_order_for_block() · 12aa7d95
    Nicolai Stange authored
    commit b5cb316c upstream.
    
    Currently, in mb_find_order_for_block(), there's a loop like the following:
    
      while (order <= e4b->bd_blkbits + 1) {
        ...
        bb += 1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits - order);
      }
    
    Note that the updated bb is used in the loop's next iteration only.
    
    However, at the last iteration, that is at order == e4b->bd_blkbits + 1,
    the shift count becomes negative (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3)) and UBSAN reports
    
      UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1281:11
      shift exponent -1 is negative
      [...]

    Unless compilers start to do some fancy transformations (which at least
    GCC 6.0.0 doesn't currently do), the issue is of cosmetic nature only: the
    such calculated value of bb is never used again.
    
    Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, bb_incr, holding the next
    increment to apply to bb and adjust that one by right shifting it by one
    position per loop iteration.
