Will send V2 if this is ok to you. fs/ntfs3: Use kernel ALIGN macros over driver specific The static checkers (Smatch) were complaining because QuadAlign() was buggy. If you try to align something higher than UINT_MAX it got truncated to a u32. Smatch warning was: fs/ntfs3/attrib.c:383 attr_set_size_res() warn: was expecting a 64 bit value instead of '~7' So that this will not happen again we will change all these macros to kernel made ones. This can also help some other static analyzing tools to give us better warnings. Patch was generated with Coccinelle script and after that some style issue was hand fixed. <insert coccinelle script > Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kari Argillander <kari.argillander@xxxxxxxxx> > > The static checkers (Smatch) were complaining because QuadAlign() was > buggy.
