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 b5cb316cdf3a3f5f6125412b0f6065185240cfdc upstream.
Currently, in mb_find_order_for_block(), there's a loop like the following:
while (order <= e4b->bd_blkbits + 1) {
...
bb += 1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits - order);
}
Note that the updated bb is used in the loop's next iteration only.
However, at the last iteration, that is at order == e4b->bd_blkbits + 1,
the shift count becomes negative (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3)) and UBSAN reports
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1281:11
shift exponent -1 is negative
[...]

[...]
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 bb is never used again.
Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, bb_incr, holding the next
increment to apply to bb and adjust that one by right shifting it by one
position per loop iteration.
