There is a math problem here which leads to a lot of static checker warnings for me: net/sunrpc/clnt.c:451 rpc_new_client() error: (-4096) too low for ERR_PTR Error values are from -1 to -4095 or from 0xffffffff to 0xfffff001 in hexadecimal. (I am assuming a 32 bit system for simplicity). We are using the lowest two bits to hold some internal XArray data so the error is shifted two spaces to the left. 0xfffff001 << 2 is 0xffffc004. And finally we want to check that BIT(1) is set so we add 2 which gives us 0xffffc006. In other words, we should be checking that "entry >= 0xffffc006", but the check is actually testing if "entry >= 0xffffc002".
