Interesting! Very good work finding that bug, Katsuki-san. 

FWIW, I suspect this fix will need to go back into stable kernels,
too.

To close the loop, what code do the other versions GCC produce for
this macro?  Evidence so far says that the result depends on the
compiler version, so I would like to have confirmation that other
versions of the compiler generate working code.  There are other
XFS_DADDR_TO_FSB() calls in the XFS code, too - do they demonstrate
the same problem, maybe with different compiler versions?

Basically I'm asking what is the scope of the problem you've found?
i.e. when was the bug introduced, what compilers expose it, etc
so that when ARM users report XFS corruptions we have some idea of
whether their kernel/compiler combination might have caused the
issue they are seeing...

Cheers,

Dave.
