6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9a9f3a9842927e4af7ca10c19c94dad83bebd713 upstream.
Now ac_groups_linear_remaining is of type __u16 and s_mb_max_linear_groups
is of type unsigned int, so an overflow occurs when setting a value above
65535 through the mb_max_linear_groups sysfs interface. Therefore, the
type of ac_groups_linear_remaining is set to __u32 to avoid overflow.
Fixes: 196e402adf2e ("ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning")
