However, at the last iteration, that is at i == sb->s_blocksize_bits + 1, the shift count becomes equal to (unsigned)-1 > 31 (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3)) and UBSAN reports UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:2621:15 shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' [...] Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0xbc/0x117 [] ? _atomic_dec_and_lock+0x169/0x169 [] ubsan_epilogue+0xd/0x4e [] __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x1fb/0x254 [] ? __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value+0x158/0x158 [] ? kmem_cache_alloc+0x101/0x390 [] ? ext4_mb_init+0x13b/0xfd0 [] ? create_cache+0x57/0x1f0 [] ? create_cache+0x11a/0x1f0 [] ? mutex_lock+0x38/0x60 [] ? mutex_unlock+0x1b/0x50 [] ? put_online_mems+0x5b/0xc0 [] ? kmem_cache_create+0x117/0x2c0 [] ext4_mb_init+0xc49/0xfd0 [...] Observe that the mentioned shift exponent, 4294967295, equals (unsigned)-1. Unless compilers start to do some fancy transformations (which at least GCC 6.0.0 doesn't currently do), the issue is of cosmetic nature only: the such calculated value of offset is never used again. Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, offset_incr, holding the next increment to apply to offset and adjust that one by right shifting it by one position per loop iteration.
