[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 20/21] lib/div64.c: off by one in shift

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit cdc94a37493135e355dfc0b0e086d84e3eadb50d ]

fls counts bits starting from 1 to 32 (returns 0 for zero argument).  If
we add 1 we shift right one bit more and loose precision from divisor,
what cause function incorect results with some numbers.

Corrected code was tested in user-space, see bugzilla:
