[PATCH 3.12 47/56] ext4: silence UBSAN in ext4_mb_init()

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

commit 935244cd54b86ca46e69bc6604d2adfb1aec2d42 upstream.

Currently, in ext4_mb_init(), there's a loop like the following:

  do {
    ...
    offset += 1 << (sb->s_blocksize_bits - i);
    i++;
  } while (i <= sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1);

Note that the updated offset is used in the loop's next iteration only.

However, at the last iteration, that is at i == sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1,
the shift count becomes equal to (unsigned)-1 > 31 (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3))
and UBSAN reports

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:2621:15
  shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'

   [...]

Observe that the mentioned shift exponent, 4294967295, equals (unsigned)-1.

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 offset is never used again.

Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, offset_incr, holding the
next increment to apply to offset and adjust that one by right shifting it
by one position per loop iteration.
