[PATCH -mm 2/2] nilfs2: make superblock data array index computation sparse friendly

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Tue Apr 30 2024 - 04:00:35 EST


Upon running sparse, "warning: dubious: x & !y" is output at an array
index calculation within nilfs_load_super_block().

The calculation is not wrong, but to eliminate the sparse warning,
replace it with an equivalent calculation.

Also, add a comment to make it easier to understand what the unintuitive
array index calculation is doing and whether it's correct.
