Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fs/ext4: mb_find_order_for_block(): silence UBSAN
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 22:12:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458421925-5481-2-git-send-email-nicstange@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458421925-5481-1-git-send-email-nicstange@gmail.com>
Currently, in mb_find_order_for_block(), there's a loop like the following:
while (order <= e4b->bd_blkbits + 1) {
...
bb += 1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits - order);
}
Note that the updated bb is used in the loop's next iteration only.
However, at the last iteration, that is at order == e4b->bd_blkbits + 1,
the shift count becomes negative (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3)) and UBSAN reports
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1281:11
shift exponent -1 is negative
[...]
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff818c4d35>] dump_stack+0xbc/0x117
[<ffffffff818c4c79>] ? _atomic_dec_and_lock+0x169/0x169

[<ffffffff816e7b7e>] mb_find_order_for_block+0x1ce/0x240
[...]
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 bb is never used again.
Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, bb_incr, holding the next
increment to apply to bb and adjust that one by right shifting it by one
position per loop iteration.
