[PATCH for-next 3/6] RDMA/hfi1: Fix potential integer multiplication overflow errors

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

 



When multiplying of different types, an overflow is possible even
when storing the result in a larger type. This is because the
conversion is done after the multiplication. So arithmetic
overflow and thus in incorrect value is possible.

Correct an instance of this in the inter packet delay calculation.
Fix by ensuring one of the operands is u64 which will promote the
other to u64 as well ensuring no overflow.
