From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 97a103e6b584442cd848887ed8d47be2410b7e09 ] Shifting unsigned char b by an int type can lead to sign-extension overflow. For example, if b is 0xff and the shift is 24, then top bit is sign-extended so the final value passed to writeq has all the upper 32 bits set. Fix this by casting b to a 64 bit unsigned before the shift.
