I got this:

================================================================================

The problem is that if the argument (an unsigned long) passed to
F_SETPIPE_SZ is either 0 or greater than UINT_MAX, then
roundup_pow_of_two() will hit undefined behavior because the shift
width will be 64.

Even if we limited the argument to UINT_MAX, we would still need to
keep the !nr_pages check, as passing anything greater than INT_MAX
will give a nr_pages inside round_pipe_size() of (1 << 20) which
then gets truncated to 0 when we convert it to an unsigned int
(because (1 << 20) << PAGE_SHIFT == 1 << 32).

If we limit it to INT_MAX, then we know nr_pages will never be 0.
Rudimentary boundary analysis (both 32- and 64-bit):

arg == 0: gets rejected with -EINVAL by our check
arg == 1: round_pipe_size() rounds up to PAGE_SIZE and returns PAGE_SIZE
arg == INT_MAX - 1: round_pipe_size() returns 0x80000000
arg == INT_MAX: round_pipe_size() returns 0x80000000
arg > INT_MAX: gets rejected with -EINVAL by our check

In practice the undefined behaviour causes my gcc at least to return
0 for the large shift (i.e. 1ULL << 64 == 0), so nothing bad happens
because this is caught by the if (!nr_pages) check. But I don't think
we can bank on this always being the case. This patch avoids the
undefined behaviour completely. (Stable not on Cc since it violates
the âno "This could be a problem"â rule.)

Tested on 32- and 64-bit x86/UML.
