From: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 935244cd54b86ca46e69bc6604d2adfb1aec2d42 upstream.
Currently, in ext4_mb_init(), there's a loop like the following:
do {
...
offset += 1 << (sb->s_blocksize_bits - i);
i++;
} while (i <= sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1);
Note that the updated offset is used in the loop's next iteration only.
However, at the last iteration, that is at i == sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1,
the shift count becomes equal to (unsigned)-1 > 31 (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3))
and UBSAN reports
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:2621:15
shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
[...]

Observe that the mentioned shift exponent, 4294967295, equals (unsigned)-1.
Unless compilers start to do some fancy transformations (which at least
GCC 6.0.0 doesn't currently do), the issue is of cosmetic nature only: the
such calculated value of offset is never used again.
Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, offset_incr, holding the
next increment to apply to offset and adjust that one by right shifting it
by one position per loop iteration.
