[PATCH v2 3/7] ext4: avoid negative min_clusters in find_group_orlov()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



min_clusters is signed integer and will be converted to unsigned
integer when compared with unsigned number stats.free_clusters.
If min_clusters is negative, it will be converted to a huge unsigned
value in which case all groups may not meet the actual desired free
clusters.
Set negative min_clusters to 0 to avoid unexpected behavior.
