In xfs_da3_path_shift() "blk" can be assigned to state->path.blk[-1] if state->path.active is 1 (which is a valid state) when it tries to add an entry to a single dir leaf block and then to shift forward to see if there's a sibling block that would be a better place to put the new entry. This causes a UBSAN warning given negative array indices are undefined behavior in C. In practice the warning is entirely harmless given that "blk" is never dereferenced in this case, but it is still better to fix up the warning and slightly improve the code.
