The expression 'id << IORING_OFF_PBUF_SHIFT' is evaluated using 32-bit
arithmetic because id is a u32. This may overflow before being promoted
to the 64-bit mmap_offset.
Cast id to u64 before shifting to ensure the shift is performed in
64-bit arithmetic.
I'd be impressed if 'id' could be large enough to cause this to
overflow. AFAICT, you'd need more than 64K interface queues registered
to hit this. So I think this should be reframed as a cleanup, to appease
smatch.
Pretty much so. I'll queue up the patch targeting 7.1, thanks
