From: Nicolai Stange Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext4: mb_find_order_for_block(): silence UBSAN Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 20:54:07 +0100 Message-ID: <1458417247-3164-1-git-send-email-nicstange@gmail.com> Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Nicolai Stange To: "Theodore Ts'o" , Andreas Dilger Return-path: Received: from mail-wm0-f66.google.com ([74.125.82.66]:35367 "EHLO mail-wm0-f66.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1754898AbcCSTyT (ORCPT ); Sat, 19 Mar 2016 15:54:19 -0400 Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Currently, in mb_find_order_for_block(), there's a loop like the following: while (order <= e4b->bd_blkbits + 1) { ... bb += 1 << (e4b->bd_blkbits - order); } Note that the updated bb is used in the loop's next iteration only. However, at the last iteration, that is at order == e4b->bd_blkbits + 1, the shift count becomes negative (c.f. C99 6.5.7(3)) and UBSAN reports UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1281:11 shift exponent -1 is negative 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 [] ? ext4_mb_generate_from_pa+0x590/0x590 [] ? ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait+0x598/0xe80 [] mb_find_order_for_block+0x1ce/0x240 [...] Unless compilers start to do some fancy transformations (which at least GCC 4.6.0 doesn't currently do), the issue is of cosmetic nature only: the such calculated value of bb is never used again. Silence UBSAN by introducing another variable, bb_incr, holding the next increment to apply to bb and adjust that one by right shifting it by one position per loop iteration.
