Hi,
While trying UBSAN on arm64, I hit a couple of splats at boot in the
ext4 mballoc code [1] (duplicated below), on v4.5-rc3. In both cases a
dynamically-computed shift amount underflows before it is applied,
leading to a too-large shift in one case and a negative shift in the
other.
The code in question seems largely unchanged since 2008 judging by git
blame, and I didn't spot any relevant changes in linux-next today
(next-20160208), so I assume I'm the first to report this.
I've had a quick look at figuring out what's happening below, but I'm
not familiar with the code and I'm not sure what the intended results
are. Any help would be appreciated.
The first splat looks like:

Which corresponds to the following loop:
2606 i = 1;
2607 offset = 0;
2608 max = sb->s_blocksize << 2;
2609 do {
2610 sbi->s_mb_offsets[i] = offset;
2611 sbi->s_mb_maxs[i] = max;
2612 offset += 1 << (sb->s_blocksize_bits - i);
2613 max = max >> 1;
2614 i++;
2615 } while (i <= sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1);
The loop condition permits an iteration where i == sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1, as
sb->s_blocksize_bits is an unsigned char and i is an unsigned, the result is an
unsigned underflow value (4294967295). This leads us to try to left shift 1 by
an insanely large value.
The second splat looks like:

Which corresponds to:
1259 static int mb_find_order_for_block(struct ext4_buddy *e4b, int block)
1260 {
1261 int order = 1;
1262 void *bb;
1263
1264 BUG_ON(e4b->bd_bitmap == e4b->bd_buddy);
1265 BUG_ON(block >= (1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits + 3)));
1266
1267 bb = e4b->bd_buddy;
1268 while (order <= e4b->bd_blkbits + 1) {
1269 block = block >> 1;
1270 if (!mb_test_bit(block, bb)) {
1271 /* this block is part of buddy of order 'order' */
1272 return order;
1273 }
1274 bb += 1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits - order);
1275 order++;
1276 }
1277 return 0;
1278 }
We allow an iteration when order == e4b->bd_blkbits + 1 and so we calculate a
shift amount of -1.
Any idea of what should be done in these cases?
Thanks,
Mark.
