Subject: [PATCH 0/2] lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:48:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318074806.16527-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
Fix two instances of undefined behavior in lib/bch.c caused by
left-shifting signed integers into or past the sign bit.
While the kernel's -fno-strict-overflow flag prevents miscompilation
today, these are formally UB per C11 6.5.7p4 and trivial to fix.
