Calculation of dirty_ratelimit sometimes is not correct. E.g. initial values of dirty_ratelimit == INIT_BW and step == 0, lead to the following result: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ../mm/page-writeback.c:1286:7 shift exponent 25600 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int' The fix is straightforward - make step 0 if the shift exponent is too big.
