[PATCH] smb: common: fix undefined shifts in LZ77 flag encoding
From: Laxman Acharya Padhya
Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 13:34:42 EST
The LZ77 encoder emits flags in 32-bit words, but keeps the
accumulator in a long and can shift it by 32 bits.
This happens when lz77_encode_literals() emits a full all-literal flag
word, and again when smb_lz77_compress() pads an empty final flag word.
On 32-bit builds these shift counts are equal to the width of the
shifted type, so UBSAN can report a runtime error and the encoded flag
word is undefined.
Use a u32 accumulator and special-case the full-word states so the same
flag words are emitted without issuing 32-bit shifts.
Fixes: d14bbfff259c ("smb3: mark compression as CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL and fix missing compression operation")
